“Rise to Leadership” is a foundational leadership program for ambitious women in business designed to help you connect with other experienced leaders, overcome internal barriers, and kickstart your leadership journey.
Get ready to create the career of your dream
Women are redefining what it means to be a leader with the skills and perspectives they bring to the table. Yet, only 29% of women make it to the executive level. How do we bridge the gender leadership gap?
We believe that leadership is not about what you do, but about who you are and how you leverage your gifts and the gifts of others around you to effect change.
Our faculty of thought leaders and C-Suite executives will share strategies and real stories of their journeys to top leadership roles.
In over 6 weeks, this live, hands-on educational experience aims to equip you with the mindset and strategies you need to prepare for the top slots.
