This six-week online program for women leaders is designed to help you manage conditions for career growth while gaining invaluable feedback on presenting and advocating for yourself both on paper and in person. This is a unique opportunity to learn from some of the best leaders in the industry in a supportive environment alongside other women leaders. 

This program is intentionally designed to start with an opportunity to reflect on your leadership strengths through completion of the Five Paths to Leadership^SM Self-Assessment and a 360-degree review with feedback from your network, so that you can discover your authentic leadership style. You will identify the skill sets needed to navigate the current and future higher ed landscape, so that you can write a compelling career narrative that captures your strengths, goals, and values. You’ll incorporate these insights into your external-facing communications—such as your CV, résumé, and LinkedIn profile. Most importantly, you’ll leave with a tangible action plan for how to grow your career and the connections that support your goals—all of which will be informed with feedback from the cohort—a network we hope you’ll leverage and support far into the future.

Highlights of the program include: 

• Tips and Strategies from Our Expert Instructor Panel: Learn new skills that will help you to implement your career growth strategy immediately in weekly live learning sessions and follow-up assignments. 
• Leadership Assessment: Through Academic Impressions’ Five Paths to Leadership^SM Self-Assessment, individual assignments and group discussions, you’ll discover how you leverage your leadership strengths under typical circumstances as well as more stressful ones. 
• 360 Assessment Plus 1-on-1 Feedback: Engage in a 360-degree feedback assessment and get perspective from your colleagues. You will also meet with one of our expert Success Coaches to help you digest your 360 feedback so that you can identify meaningful ways to incorporate this information into your career growth strategy.  
• Community-Building and Networking: Join a small cohort for a 45-minute weekly discussion session to explore questions or challenges you may be encountering and get advice from your peers. During these sessions, you will establish a small team, connect with the speaker, and work through how you plan to implement the action steps you’ve identified.
