This course will be held virtually in two half-day sessions on February 17 and February 24, from 8:00am to 11:30am. The course minimum is 8 people and limited to 20 people.
Successful leaders have a mindset. We explore the characteristics of the mindset and how they impact women. Leaders also need to examine the three levels of leadership and the choices that accompany them. Participants will complete a self-assessment and other pre-work ahead of the course.
