Do you ever wish that someone would bottle their proven tips, tools, strategies and secrets for becoming successful in today's competitive business environment and hand them over to you? That's exactly what this course aims to do. This course is taught as an interactive workshop for high-potential, high-performing women leaders who are looking to take their careers to the next level. The course places a strong emphasis on both personal and professional growth. It is definitely not a course emphasizing professional success at any cost.

This course is designed for:

• Emerging women leaders whose careers are on the rise, or who expect their careers to be on the rise in the future.
• Seasoned professional women at a cross-road in their careers wondering “what’s next?”
• Any working woman eager to engage in a journey of self-reflection designed to help her achieve the life she imagines for herself.
• HR and talent development professionals who are responsible for hiring, retaining, advancing, engaging and inspiring top female talent in their organizations.

What you will gain

• A solid understanding of gender differences in the workplace, and the ways in which gender difference can impact your professional advancement, as well as the company’s bottom line.
• Learn some fundamental truths in business which can make or break your career. Get inside information about what the people who get ahead are doing that others do not.
• Insight into your own personal and professional goals and challenges through a variety of assessments and exercises.
• Introduction to the unique and empowering concept of success and sanity. Success and sanity embrace the spirit of work/life balance, but greatly expand its scope in a way that is more consistent and realistic for today’s professional women.
• Understand the role that corporate culture plays in your opportunities for career advancement and overall job satisfaction. You will leave the course with assessment results that outline what types of corporate culture represent the “best fit” for you.
• A list of reference materials and self-reflective questions that will allow you to continue the learning long after the course is over.
