Meaning
This module will address the importance of building meaning for women in leadership roles. Meaning is a defining trait among leaders. Identifying what brings meaning involves both knowing your strengths and identifying your purpose in what you are doing. Part of identifying your purpose is naming your dreams, and once your purpose is identified alongside your strengths and meaning becomes clear, happiness naturally results. The happiness equation provides a strong base for effective leadership.

This module will discuss the importance of how we frame the successes and failures and how to move forward through obstacles along the way.

Engaging and Energizing
It all comes together when we practice engagement. Engaging is when we commit to taking a step forward, to seize the opportunities in front of us. In order to take risks, we must be able to speak up for our dreams professionally as well as personally. This module will discuss how to find your voice as a leader, use your strengths to create opportunities in leadership in your career, and to utilize skills from centered leadership to effectively reach your career goals.
