From Our Executive Leadership Accelerator Alumni

"This course has really just changed the trajectory of my life and my career"

"Leadership was a very abstract concept to me that I didn't quite understand, but I've gained a much deeper understanding of who I am as a leader and how that aligns with my personal and professional values. It's been great to have a safe space where I can develop that confidence and feel safe to be my authentic self."

Mary A Insurance Industry Leader

"I finally found my strategic voice after 20+ years in my organization"

"Today I was able to clearly articulate why we need to pursue a direction and what will happen if we don't—I got immediate buy-in where before I only got polite reception. This program helped me unload baggage I'd been carrying for over 20 years and really think about what brings me joy and what I need to succeed."

Barbara Banking Professional

"I actually grieve that it's ending because I want more"

"When I find a good book and I'm done with it, I actually grieve because I want more—that's how this course is. It's not 'oh my gosh, I can't wait to get to the end,' it's 'where's the sequel?' That speaks to the quality and how you supported us to find our authentic voice and use it."

We address the critical gaps in your leadership pipeline by combining strategic career navigation, executive presence development, and practical business leadership skills that create clear paths to P&L roles.

Organizations implementing our program typically see increased retention of high-potential women leaders, accelerated advancement into senior roles, and improved representation in P&L positions. We work with you to establish baseline metrics and track progress throughout the program.

Our program investment is structured to deliver clear ROI through reduced turnover costs, accelerated leadership development, and improved succession planning. The cost of losing one senior woman leader often exceeds our entire program investment.

We offer flexible implementation models ranging from individual enrollment to enterprise-wide solutions. Our team works with you to customize the program to your organization's specific needs, culture, and objectives.

Our courses are designed to be flexible and self-paced. However, some courses may include live sessions or webinars with instructors. For upcoming live events, check the course schedule in the "Course Overview" section or under "Announcements" in your course dashboard.

You can interact with your instructors and peers through the course's discussion forums. These forums are available within each course module, allowing you to ask questions, share insights, and engage in discussions. Additionally, some courses may offer live Q&A sessions or virtual office hours.

If you experience any technical issues or need assistance, please get in touch with our support team via the "Help & Support" link in the footer of our website or within your course dashboard. We're here to ensure you have a smooth learning experience and will respond to your inquiries as quickly as possible.

The 6 to 12-week program is designed for busy professionals. You'll need approximately 3-4 hours per week, including live sessions and implementation work. The program is structured to create an immediate impact while building long-term career success.

Absolutely. This program is specifically designed to help you create your own career opportunities, regardless of organizational support. You'll learn how to navigate career advancement independently and build influential relationships that support your goals.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

    General Questions

  • An Executive Women's Leadership Accelerator is an intensive, results-focused program specifically designed to fast-track accomplished women from operational excellence to executive leadership roles. Unlike traditional leadership development programs that take a one-size-fits-all approach, a women's leadership accelerator addresses the unique challenges and barriers that high-potential women face in advancing to C-suite positions.


    These specialized programs focus on four critical leadership dimensions that traditional training often overlooks: leading yourself with authentic authority, leading others through influence and impact, leading strategically within organizations, and leading transformation in today's rapidly evolving business landscape. The accelerator format compresses what typically takes years of gradual development into an intensive, cohort-based experience that delivers immediate and measurable results.


    Leadership development for high-potential women has become essential because organizations desperately need diverse executive leadership. Yet, women continue to be underrepresented in senior roles despite comprising nearly half of the workforce. An Executive Women's Leadership Accelerator bridges this gap by developing the specific competencies that distinguish executive leaders from operational managers.


    The importance of these programs cannot be overstated in today's business environment. With the rise of AI and digital transformation, organizations need leaders who can navigate uncertainty, drive innovation, and inspire teams through complex change. Women bring unique perspectives and collaborative leadership styles that are increasingly valuable, yet many struggle to transition from being indispensable individual contributors to influential strategic leaders.


    A well-designed Executive Women's Leadership Accelerator provides the frameworks, peer network, and strategic thinking capabilities that enable high-potential women to claim their rightful place in executive leadership. These programs don't just teach skills—they transform mindsets, unlock authentic leadership voices, and create the confidence necessary to drive organizational transformation at the highest levels.

  • Absolutely! Our Executive Women's Leadership Accelerator is available as both a 12-week intensive program and a comprehensive 12-month in-house development solution designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing leadership initiatives. This program serves as the perfect complement to traditional leadership development, addressing the specific challenges that women face in advancing to executive roles.


    Four Strategic Leadership Dimensions

    Our program uniquely focuses on developing women across four critical leadership dimensions that most corporate training overlooks:

    • Leading Self: Building authentic authority, executive presence, and strategic self-advocacy
    • Leading Others: Developing influence, team transformation, and collaborative leadership skills
    • Leading Within Organizations: Mastering organizational dynamics, strategic navigation, and institutional impact
    • Leading Transformation: Driving change management and innovation leadership in the AI era


    Customizable for Every Career Stage


    The women's leadership accelerator can be fully customized to meet your organization's specific needs and target different leadership levels:

    Emerging Women Leaders (5-10 years experience): Focus on building foundational executive skills, developing strategic thinking, and preparing for management roles.

    High-Potential Women (10-15 years experience): Emphasis on transition from individual contributor to strategic leader, building influence, and preparing for senior management.

    Newly Promoted Executives: Intensive support for women stepping into executive roles, addressing imposter syndrome, and developing C-suite leadership competencies.


    Seamless Integration with Existing Programs

    Our leadership development for high-potential women program enhances rather than replaces your current leadership initiatives. It can be delivered as:

    • Standalone accelerator cohorts
    • Integration modules within existing leadership tracks
    • Executive coaching supplements
    • Mentorship program enhancements

    The program includes comprehensive leadership assessments, peer learning cohorts, strategic action planning, and ongoing support to ensure sustainable transformation and measurable ROI for your organization's women leaders.
