A Global Development Expedition FOR women, not ABOUT women. Signature Leaders is designed to augment, rather than replace, existing corporate executive leadership development. These are programs for women with the highest potential, to fast-track them into next level leadership. These women are managing large P&Ls, leading transformations across the enterprise or sizeable functional teams, or in that critical "pivot" from managing to leading. We gather these elite leaders from around the world for introspective learning and external connections. Our executive faculty covers our framework of Who You Are, How You Show Up, and How You Relate to Others. Unlike typical seminars or conferences, participants will join the Signature community upon enrollment. This means the opportunities for learning and growth starts prior to, and continues beyond, the immersion session. Signature alumni move forward with an invaluable network of more than 2,300 peers and 250 executive faculty members and advisors who support them throughout their ongoing leadership journey. Why Signature as a name? Because every executive has a unique style and "signature" embedded in the way they lead. Our curriculum focuses on the essential capabilities needed for next level leadership in a way that encourages executives to broaden, not change their own distinct style – the leadership signature that makes them authentic.
