Simmons Hosts Executive Program in Leadership for Women
This Fall, the Simmons School of Management will host an Executive Education program called “Strategic Leadership for Women.” The event is intended for women from all industries and functional areas, and professionals in middle or senior positions who hope to enhance their leadership role within their organizations.
Participants will take part in a variety of activities throughout the program, including case studies, personal coaching, networking, and role playing and active problem solving. The workshop will also use a 360 degree leadership assessment tool to help attendees get a better sense of their leadership practices and style. The program will also teach participants more about how strategic mentoring can impact their careers and the careers of their coworkers. The preliminary schedule of activities for the program is available here.
According to a survey conducted by Simmons, 85% of last year’s participants in the “Strategic Leadership for Women” program reported that they contribute more to their company as a result of the program.
The program will take place from September 15-19 on the Simmons School of Management campus. The program fee of $4,600 covers materials, classroom instruction, and most meals. Simmons has partial scholarships available for female leaders in the non-profit sector. Attendees who complete the program will earn 7.5 continuing education credits (CEUs) from Simmons for the Strategic Leadership for Women program.
