This interactive program brings together corporate women and senior executive women in a special discussion format. Women'sLink offers six monthly sessions to consider important workplace issues. Participants get to learn from women who have already "been there" and to apply their learning to their own corporate situation.

Women'sLink Explores Strategies to Support Leadership Development by:

• Allowing mid-level corporate women to explore career issues beyond their current organizational environment.
• Promoting an exchange of information and insights about ongoing and emerging corporate challenges among women of different levels and from different industries.
• Providing the opportunity to develop an ongoing network of women in the corporate arena.
  

Session Topics

Women'sLink PROGRAM STRUCTURE
The discussion group consists of 30 mid-level, corporate women and five senior corporate women. In past programs, senior women participated from companies such as Coors Brewing Company, First Data Corporation,Bank One, Qwest, Storage Tek and TIAA-CREF. The program emphasizes an interactive approach with a mix of small and large group discussions.

LIFESTYLE & BALANCE
Many working women struggle to achieve balance, but often find only "band-aid" solutions. This session explores tips and strategies for balancing work and personal time from both individual and organizational perspectives.

NETWORKING AND RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
Learn the skills and benefits of networking. Gain an introduction to the Success Skills, the four skills our research shows are essential to catapult to a senior leadership position.

CORPORATE CULTURE
Corporate culture can vary dramatically among companies. This session explores your organization's culture, your compatibility with it and looks at strategies to help you increase your success with that culture in the future.

POWER & POLITICS
This session helps participants to learn where their personal power comes from and how that form of power differs from positional power. Discussion will also focus on how to become more politically savvy, so that you are working with people instead of against them.

CAREER MANAGEMENT
You only have one career manager - yourself. This session will help you learn how to maximize your current career strengths as well as how to look for opportunities to grow your talents for future use.

SUCCESS STORIES
This year, the Women'sLink program will weave four essential Success Skills throughout the program. In a new session called Success Stories, participants present a personal success story about one area that especially impacted them.
