Jan. 25 - Feb. 25, 2021 | online | 4 TEUs | $6,700
To reach your potential — entry to the highest executive levels — you need a strategic plan, a personal map to guide you to the top.
The Leadership and Negotiation Academy will help craft your leadership brand for both individual and organizational success while leveraging the unique strengths and addressing the challenges specific to women business leaders. It will arm you with the tools for effective negotiation to hurdle obstacles, secure necessary resources and further your upward trajectory.
Learn from both proven experts in relevant fields and renowned faculty on the leading edge. Strengthen key negotiating skills, particularly crucial for women in business. Explore critical areas that include networking, sponsorship and executive presence required for getting things done through others and across organizational boundaries.
The Leadership and Negotiation Academy is far more than a series of passive classroom lectures. Be prepared for an interactive, results-driven week that will leave you with a defined plan of action to take your career to the next level — the one you deserve.
