There is no “one size fits all” model for leadership. This brand-new ongoing series of workshops explores women’s unique leadership styles and offers techniques on how to capitalize—rather than compromise—on the differences often found between men and women. We will provide practical tips and guidance to help you harness your strengths and enhance your effectiveness in the workplace, while still maintaining authenticity.
You will realize your full potential in professional environments that increasingly rely on collaboration, persuasion, and good communication.
Take just one day to network with other professional women, or attend any three workshops, saving more than 10% on tuition across the series. Benefit from insights and tools to boost your morale in traditional control/command environments, focus your performance, and enable your development.
In September 2009, discover how to connect across cultures, building new and valuable relationships. Learn how to navigate a new organization’s culture, succeed in traditionally male environments, and work with people from cultures unsupportive of female leaders.
Connecting Across Cultures, September 9, 2009, includes featured speakers:
Haleh Esfandiari
Enjoy a special discussion and book event with former Iranian political prisoner Haleh Esfandiari. Participants will learn about progress for women in the Middle East and how Dr. Esfandiari's resilience and strength helped her survive her ordeal.
Retired Lt. General Carol Mutter
The first woman in the Marine Corps to attain a 3-star rank, will discuss challenges of breaking through the “brass ceiling” and share lessons she learned during her groundbreaking career in the Armed Forces.

Themes of future programs will include Appreciating Leadership Differences, Breaking Down Barriers, and Communicating and Negotiating.
