A SEAT AT THE TABLE LUNCH AND GROW
One of the primary barriers to women’s professional success is access. Research shows that career women do not have consistent access to senior leader mentors or sponsors. Hear directly from women who’ve earned a seat at the table as they share “real-life” insights on gaining access and achieving success.
professional empowerment suite
The Professional Empowerment Suite gives you direct access to experts to complete your professional makeover, including resume and social media profile updates, business plan review, and image consulting.
ACTION: Seek expert support in the developmental area(s) of focus.
