Resilience and Strategic Risk Taking for Women Leaders

Develop the skills and mindset to transform challenges into growth opportunities

Why do some women thrive professionally while others are passed over for career advancement opportunities? The answer is often a lack of resilience and resistance to taking risks—due to a variety of factors. For women, it is especially important to develop greater “bounce back” skills and gain more comfort with strategic risk-taking. Fortunately, the ability to transform challenges into growth and to leverage leadership skills to one’s best advantage can be learned. This course gives you powerful, practical techniques to reframe uncertainty, welcome healthy conflict, adapt to tough challenges and move out of your comfort zone to embrace new pathways to advancement.

The instructor made the environment EVEN VIRTUALLY a safe space to leave your opinions on the table with no judgement and encouragement to disagree and have a lot of back and forth. This was the BEST virtual training course I have taken thus far and I have taken many sessions virtually, either professionally or on my own.
