The Rise to Leadership Program is a 6-week live group leadership development program designed to prepare women in their mid-career to take up senior leadership roles.
LET’S INCREASE THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP STARTING WITH YOU!
Moving up on the leadership ladder requires a lot of courage and confidence. Rise To Leadership Program provides the necessary guidance and support to help you navigate self-doubts, show up confidently and advocate for yourself and others. The Rise to Leadership program is your opportunity to cultivate the mindset and skillset you need to climb the leadership ladder.
C-Suite Executives share their journeys to top leadership roles and lessons learned. In addition, they support your ongoing development as a way to pay it forward to future leaders.
We invite global companies passionate about increasing the number of women in their leadership pipeline to sponsor their high potential women in their mid-career to join the Rise To Leadership Program.
Starting October 7, 2021, we will be learning and sharing knowledge with an elite group of women. We will meet every week for 1.5 hours.
