Redefining Leadership
A transformative educational program for business professionals presented by Rise and Lead Institute beginning February 5, 2022.
Program Overview
Women are redefining what it means to be a leader with the skills and perspectives they bring to the table. Yet, only 29% of women make it to the executive level. How do we bridge the gender leadership gap?
Redefining Leadership is an accelerator program designed to help women connect with other experienced leaders, overcome internal barriers to success, and obtain a decision-making position.
Rise and Lead Institute created this new program based on the knowledge that having more women at top leadership is good for everyone. We believe that leadership is not about what you do but about who you are and how you leverage your gifts and others around you to effect change.
Our faculty of thought leaders and C-Suite executives will share strategies and real stories of their journeys to top leadership roles. In addition, they will share the lessons they have learned and offer support to future women leaders as a way to pay it forward.
Program Structure
The Women Redefining Leadership program is divided into three modules of three days per module over the course of three months. The program combines exercises, group discussion, small learning teams, and peer and facilitated coaching..
Alignment
The first module helps you know who you are and understand what drives you and what beliefs either support or hinder your growth. You will be guided through the following steps:
Module 2: Acceleration
The second module assists you in leveraging your internal network -- including your current team -- to achieve your goals. Developing healthy work habits and avoiding burnout is a critical part of this stage of growth, and we will equip you with new strategies that focus on your physical and mental well-being.
Module 3: Amplification
The third module focuses on increasing your visibility, taking advantage of opportunities, seeking out rewarding challenges, and doing your best work in a place that recognizes and rewards you. In other words, we will help you navigate above the glass cliff that prevents many women from reaching their full potential.
Each module will follow this format:
Corporate Benefits
We believe that every individual has a unique gift and deserves the opportunity to contribute through these gifts. We also believe that everything is learnable.
Therefore, we are inviting global companies passionate about increasing the number of women in their leadership pipeline to sponsor their high-potential women in their mid-senior careers to register for Women Redefining Leadership.
We know that advancing women to top leadership improves a company's business performance. Our leadership training and coaching programs will help your women leaders thrive.
The Women Redefining Leadership program can be offered to organizations in-house with dedicated teams or cross-functional teams. With its practical, hands-on approach, the program’s strategies can be implemented right away at work.
