What do the fabulous
females above have in common? They are remarkable
leaders and role models in business and the world, beginning with Pepsi’s Indra
Nooyi in the top left. All have had to
address questions of life purpose, leadership style, family priorities,
work-life balance, and building
confidence on their road to success.
We will use their lives
and the experiences of local guest speakers to find personal answers to the same
questions, enhance skills and create a personal vision. We will:
·
Interact with at
least seven local women in leadership positions.*
·
Apply a
leadership framework that has helped women around the world succeed
·
Create a personal
vision board to picture your ideal career and life
·
Examine different
ideas of work-life balance
·
Practice your
authentic leadership style
·
Translate your
values, dreams and goals into a life worthy of you
