About the Program
Today’s workplace environment creates unique and complex challenges for women, particularly in some sectors. But evidence indicates that female executives also add unique value and strategic perspective. They consistently break through unhealthy team communications, question out-dated paradigms and innovatively respond to strategic challenges. Research shows that organizations with a gender balance also enjoy measurably better bottom line results.
Faced with various types of challenges, many women step off the ladder at critical transition points. This creates a net loss of talent and competitive advantage to organizations, not to mention frustrated potential for women themselves.
Boundless Leadership is designed to specifically address the needs and questions of current and emerging women leaders. We are focused on working with you to answer this question: How can I further realize my leadership potential to benefit my ambitions AND to better serve my organization?
We will address key leadership issues and skills and cultivate a robust network of colleagues.
Each session will have a specific focus, but the program is holistic and integrated so that each session builds on the next. We will work together to practice new skills and we’ll include special guests who can directly address the “real life” experiences related to each topic. Peer coaching groups will support the practical application of learning between sessions.
