The EWSU is designed for senior-level, cross-functional, professional women who are committed to “leveling up” as leaders and human beings. The content has been carefully constructed to balance both “head” and “heart”, inspiring participants to self-reflect, deepen their emotional intelligence, expand their sphere of influence, and foster genuine followership. The EWSU program is comprised of the following, core components:
Each EWSU cohort is comprised of 10-12, carefully vetted, cross-functional female leaders from various industries. The goal is for this peer group to serve as your personal advisory board and trusted network for many years to come.
Each participant is thoughtfully paired with a highly accomplished Mentor who complements their unique gifts, gaps, and goals. Mentors work with participants one-on-one throughout the program, starting prior to the second EWSU session. The EWSU mentor pool is comprised of CEO’s, diverse executive-level business leaders, professional coaches, and other insightful subject matter experts.
Guest keynotes are invited to share their personal and professional stories, as well as key learning lessons in each session. Keynote speakers are highly credible and experienced business and community leaders.
The EWSU leverages two professional assessments: the TriMetrix, which combines the DISC and EQ-I reports, and Human Design: which leverages quantum physics and ancient philosophies to turn insights into action and tangible outcomes/results. Participants will review their reports with an EWSU leader prior to our first session. Participants may use assessment feedback to customize or modify their program goals and deliverables.
EWSU participants will receive a diverse list of suggested reading which includes bestselling books, articles, podcasts, and other content which covers diverse topics such as influence, negotiation, essential leadership techniques, emotional intelligence, trust, brand management, imposter syndrome, career management, happy high achievement, networking, etc.
EWSU Participants are assigned brief homework assignments following each session. Assignments take less than one hour to complete and include exercises such as the creation of a vision board, the development of a personal “elevator speech”, case study development, and other critical lessons that enable participants to stay engaged and learn between sessions.
Exercises are completed during and between each session. The password protected EWS website portal provides additional assignments, articles, various book synopses, and self-guided exercises that align to and enhance classroom content.
Exclusive, invite-only EWS gatherings are comprised of an intimate group of cross-functional, executive-level, female leaders (“Pearls”) who come from diverse organizations and industries. Peer-driven discussions are focused on relevant topics surrounding business, leadership, and social issues. EWS gatherings are hosted in-person (downtown Denver) and capped at the first 15 female leaders who RSVP.
“The EWSU leadership development program was a discovery journey which completely re-energized me. It came at a good time in my career and allowed me to think about where I am and what I really want in my personal and professional life. It gave me confidence and boldness that I have weaved into my personal and professional life, preparing me to take risks that paid off in a big way.”
VP, Global Procurement
EWSU participants are highly ambitious, senior-level women who want to make a bigger impact and create an authentic brand professionally, socially, and philanthropically. We adhere to strict participation guidelines in order to honor our attendees. Attendee requirements include:
EWSU leaders speak with each registered attendee prior to their first session in order to obtain critical information that will be used to customize each experience and select an executive mentor whom will work closely with them throughout the program. Established and well-regarded leaders will provide keynotes at each session, in order to share their story and highlight their expertise within various leadership-related topics. Participants will also take online assessments to deepen their self-knowledge and create clarity around their strengths, development opportunities, purpose and leadership vision.
“The facilitators and keynotes at the EWSU sessions were very valuable. I’m not typically in a position to be around such accomplished and vulnerable female leaders and it was inspirational to hear their stories.”
CFO
“The EWSU is a program that was developed by women for women. This made the class feel more like a group of friends versus strangers, which allowed for greater vulnerability. It was so valuable being around other female leaders that are facing similar personal and professional issues. It was refreshing to realize that I am not alone.”
