Power-Up your Leadership Program

Based on our engagement with over 100 female executives, over the period of 5 years, we have identified themes that if addressed will accelerate female leadership.

These are 1. The need for women to explain who they are and the value they bring to the table in an authentic way. The need to engage mentors and sponsors early in one’s career, the importance of speaking up in meetings and making their voices heard even when they feel they are ignored, the readiness to accept challenging roles, we have developed PowerUp Leadership Program to address these and they are presented below.

Vice President, Internal Audit - Finance and Corporate Functions Transformation

It was really nice to see that you are not alone, we are not alone, in facing these questions or situations. It helped me to grow in confidence and the way I now address things.

And now, I have discovered that I need to have a plan.

Laurence Mariello

UPS SCS Europe & ISMEA HR BP Director

The opportunity has been an eye-opener. Amidst every other thing, one thing that I will never forget is the fact that I have the right to ask for what I want in my career.

There is no point playing small. If I want it, and I know that I deserve it, then I should ask.
