Women in Leadership: Expanding Influence and Leading Change, Columbia University, New York City

Leigh is committed to helping women achieve their potential as leaders globally. The research and evidence is clear: inclusive leaders and inclusive organizations outperform those that are not, yet women remain underrepresented in all levels of management. This course is designed to help elevate the impact of women leaders – enabling them to navigate the business landscape, develop and leverage their talents, and step into roles of greater influence. Despite the compelling case for equality of gender representation at all levels of an organization, even with the best of intentions, unconscious bias can distort critical decisions influencing who moves ahead within an organization. Participants learn time-tested techniques and practical ideas that women can apply immediately to their career and that can help combat these performance-limiting biases. Executives are inspired, network with likeminded colleagues, and learn applicable skills for an immediate impact on their career and their organization.
