Creating bold leaders who make a difference in the world

Since 1980, our leadership development programs have provided women leaders and their allies with the resources needed to reach their full potential and drive innovation, diversity of thought and excellence within their organizations.

Through open enrollment and custom programs, both in-person and virtually, we support emerging, mid-career and senior level executives across all industries to grow in their careers and lead the way forward.
