IT IS FOR WOMEN MANAGERS AND ASPIRING WOMEN LEADERS:
Typical students have 5 – 15 years experience
With lawsuits, gender pay gaps and lack of board seats dominating the news, it is clear that the old ways of working, aren’t working.
Forward-thinking companies are looking for NEW ways to engage and empower women – so that we are ALL more innovative and successful.
We teach hard and soft skills (confidence, communication, time management, goal setting, financials, negotiations, etc.) along with action steps for results. It’s an enjoyable and engaging experience that gives women the tools and support to be more productive, confident, innovative and successful.
