 Integrating the powerful results of empirical research and translating those results into prescriptions for action, we have chosen topics and designed sessions to improve the skills and tools of women and the challenges that they, uniquely, face as they move into leadership roles.

Highlighted Sessions
Leadership Communications
As a leader, you spend the majority of your time communicating with others—team members, subordinates, clients, and public constituents. You probably don’t spend much time thinking about the way you communicate, nor are you likely, in the corporate setting, to get honest feedback on the messages you send. Yet the quality of your communications largely determines your effectiveness. This session will help you appreciate the nature and complexity of communication and provide guidelines for both improving your own communication style and recognizing the unique styles of others.
Building Alliances
Building strong alliances is critical for today’s leader particularly when the formation and implementation of new strategies depend on allies that may not be subordinates and who may even seems like natural adversaries. Ultimately, alliances are based on trust and reciprocity.
Influencing Without Authority: The One to the Many
Learn the importance of influencing small groups, particularly with little or no authority. Participants will analyze effective influence tactics and develop multiple perspectives on how to gain influence through dynamic interactions with others.
Creating Value: Prepare, Negotiate and Debrief
Women in a negotiating situation often leave resources “on the table” and do little systematic assessment of the quality of the negotiated agreements or the success of the strategies. This hands-on exercise introduces concepts of distributive and integrative negotiation structures.
