Women leaders face unique challenges in the workplace. Although research shows that women hold 50 percent of middle management positions, only 10.4 percent of CEOs in Fortune 500 companies are women. Developing strong leadership skills, especially in the areas of strategic planning, resilience, influence, networking, self-promotion, and risk-taking, will better equip women to address these challenges and thrive as leaders in the workplace.

In this course, you will learn how to persuasively advocate for yourself and your team, enlist sponsorship and mentorship by building meaningful networks, develop a communication style that enables you to take ownership of your accomplishments, and present your ideas with impact, creating an executive presence.
