Description
Dear Fellow Leader:
We’ve never met, but you and I have plenty in common.
We’re women in leadership positions. Despite tremendous advances
women professionals have experienced over the years, we still find ourselves
facing tough challenges.
We get mixed messages and mixed reactions as we take on leadership roles.
And all too often, we get only mixed results when leading others.
That’s why I’m eager to share news of an incredible
leadership training opportunity for women like us: Leadership & Supervisory
Skills for Women. Developed by the National Businesswomen’s Leadership
Association, this intensive one-day workshop is designed to build on our
inherent talents and strengths to help us become more effective, more
confident and more successful.

That’s just the beginning! You’ll discover how
