Women in Leadership

Program Content

In this program, women leaders dive into strategic alignment, leading change, and leading others for long-term sustainable performance. Participants will look at their own contexts for leadership, and develop goals and practical ideas for implementing change and enhancing performance back at home. 

Women in Leadership will explore insights and the latest research about gender, diversity, inclusion, and their implications for leadership, yourself, and your organization. We’ll look at systems and organizational cultures that empower a diverse workforce, and touch on the roles that women may choose to play in systems change. 

Upon your return to work, you’ll be inspired about your future, equipped with a personal agenda for your own leadership approach and post-program coaching from a senior executive coach to ensure you stay on track. This program is ideal for any woman pursuing director, VP, or other senior roles who wants to expand her leadership influence and authority.
