Your world is bigger than you think

Amazing things can happen when you get a group of highly intelligent, capable and inspiring women leaders together for an intensive few days. You build deep relationships with complete strangers, you gain deeper insights about yourself as a leader, and you gain a global network of like-minded women leaders you admire and want to work with again. All this within an environment that is safe and full of compassion and support. What more can you ask for?

I was promoted right before the SL program and have a lot more responsibilities now. Strategies for Leadership helped me look at things differently, from the viewpoint of my new position.
