What do the fabulous
females above have in common? They are remarkable
leaders and role models in business and the world like Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi,
top left. All have had to find their own
most authentic and powerful leadership style - addressing questions of life
purpose, family priorities, work-life balance, finding a source of passion and
energy, taking the right risks, 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
- Build your
appetite and comfort with the risk-taking that will help you excel
- Create a personal
vision board to picture your ideal career and life
- Examine different
ideas of work-life balance
- Practice your
authentic leadership style to hone your most powerful voice and presence
-
Translate your strengths,
values, dreams and goals into a life and career worthy of you
