1. How is executive presence training for women different from traditional leadership programs?

Our executive presence training for women program is different from other leadership presence for women workshops in two ways: 

  1. While our executive presence training for women workshop teaches the same core tools taught in the all-gender version, it additionally provides a deep dive into the specific dynamics women leaders in the workplace often face — such as being expected to “tone down” their power. 
  2. While other leadership programs for women programs teach methods to present in a static, formulaic way, our leadership presence for women programs are based in authenticity. Therefore, we teach female-identified participants and their allies how to build influence without asking them to change who they are. This is important, since women bring unique characteristics to the workplace (as do men); see what Fast Company says about women’s unique leadership qualities.
1. How is The Dynamic Reinforcement Program different from your one-time leadership workshops?

The Dynamic Reinforcement Program is typically 6 months long. It reinforces tools from three of our one-time leadership presence trainings – including The Transformational Leadership Experience ONSITE, The Transformational Leadership Experience VIRTUAL, and Leadership Presence for Women. Every skill, from a golf swing to public speaking skills, fades without reinforcement and regular, real-life application. Therefore, The Dynamic Reinforcement Program anchors the tools learned in our leadership presence trainings by guiding each participant to apply the tools to real workplace challenges – thereby reinforcing the tools AND creating ROI in your organization.
