Women Leading with Impact: Resilience and Strategic Risk-Taking
Why do some women thrive professionally while others are passed over for career advancement opportunities? The answer is often a lack of resilience and resistance to taking risks—due to a variety of factors. For women, it is especially important to develop greater “bounce back” skills and gain more comfort with strategic risk-taking. Fortunately, the ability to transform challenges into growth and to leverage leadership skills to one’s best advantage can be learned. This course gives you powerful, practical techniques to reframe uncertainty, welcome healthy conflict, adapt to tough challenges and move out of your comfort zone to embrace new pathways to advancement.

Helpful, good examples and clarity on things a lot of people probably struggle with.
My only feedback would be to make this a 3 day course instead of a 2 day course. There is a lot of material to cover and the days were long.
