Inside this Module
Exceptional leadership isn't about fitting someone else's definition of success. It's about understanding who you are, how leadership is evolving and developing the confidence to lead in a way that is both authentic and effective.
Across three practical lessons, you'll explore modern leadership, discover your authentic leadership strengths and develop the presence to lead with greater confidence and impact.
Lesson One
New Leadership
Lesson Two
Feminine Traits
Discover how leadership is changing and why women have never been better positioned to lead.
You'll explore new models of leadership, understand the authenticity gap, and examine how gender mindsets, the double bind and the likability penalty continue to shape women's leadership experiences.
You'll explore questions such as:
- What does great leadership look like today?
- Why do women still experience unique leadership challenges?
- What are the authenticity gap, double bind and likability penalty?
- How can I lead authentically within these realities?
Explore the role of feminine and masculine leadership traits and discover how to create a leadership approach that reflects your authentic strengths.
Rather than seeing these as gendered concepts, you'll learn how both sets of traits contribute to effective leadership and how developing the right balance can strengthen your impact.
You'll explore questions such as:
- What leadership traits come most naturally to me?
- When should I draw on different leadership strengths?
- How can I lead with greater authenticity?
- What creates the greatest leadership impact?
