Women in Leadership: Executive Leadership Skills Program

Women play key roles in the hospitality and meeting industries, but many find it challenging to move into leadership positions. In fact, recent studies show that women are 28% less likely to get an executive-level position if they possess the skills that make other job applicants candidates for CEO, COO, CMO, and CFO positions. In this four-hour course, we’ll examine why this is, what you can do about it and help you create a personal action plan to overcome some of the common career obstacles women face. This instructor-led course will guide you in creating a personal action plan to help you move into leadership roles within the meeting planning industry and more.
