Leadership Development

OUR UNIQUE AND INTIMATE EXECUTIVE PROGRAM PREPARES YOU TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL IN YOUR CAREER

How will you tap into your personal style and core strengths to reach your potential as a leader?

In the Leadership Development program, you will gain awareness of your current attitudes and strengths, and learn techniques that will help you to grow as a leader.

Our mentors are the first to acknowledge setbacks and challenges in navigating their own roads to success. In this program they share anecdotes and experiences, provide real life perspective, and create a connectedness that deepens during the program. You will hear from each of the mentors to exchange ideas, share challenges that keep you up at night and learn new techniques to solve problems.

Session 3: Advancing Leadership: How the Skills of Emotional Intelligence Advance the Success of Everything You Do

Do you know what separates successfully performing leaders from average? It’s widely known that Emotional Intelligence is a differentiating factor. But what is it? What does it look like? And how can you get it?

Session 4: The value of self-confidence to your success

As women, we play many roles in life and at work. At times, we have, or modern society imposes on us, unrealistic expectations of what success should look like, and our ability to achieve success is often linked to our self-confidence. 

In this session, we will explore common challenges and opportunities to put your self-confidence into action. Mentors will lead each of the discussions in small groups, allowing you to tap into their wisdom and experience and to share ideas and questions with your fellow participants. 

  • Negotiating for yourself.
