Our Women’s Leadership Program (WLP) empowers women professionals to navigate and propel their careers to the next level while also creating the conditions for other women to thrive. Men still outpace women in executive roles in every industry. This program equips women with a leadership toolkit blending academic content, practical application, and social capital with the chief aim of elevating gender equity in the workplace. Participants graduate with the skills, experiences, and connections needed to lead businesses into the top tiers of success.
The Chamber seeks a diverse pool of applicants regarding demographics and perspectives. We highly encourage professionals with unique backgrounds and experiences to apply.
While self-nominations are accepted, we encourage you to solicit a nomination from your manager or another leader in your company to ensure you have organizational support to participate in this program.
Chamber learning & development staff welcome the incoming class, facilitate introductions among the group, and outline program content and expectations for the year. Participants also begin their leadership journey with Simmons faculty in the first session focused on the HRDQ assessment and unlocking their default leadership styles. In-person participants mingle for a kick-off
Continuing the conversation after HRDQ assessments, examine how we are socialized to think about leadership and what identity has to do with it. Participants then dive into organizational culture and learn strategies to foster inclusive environments and practices in the workplace.
With network mapping and a focus on a specific leadership goal, participants analyze their network and develop an action plan to fill in the gaps in a structured, systematic way while building their relationships within the cohort. Virtual and in-person participants get to know each other in the program’s first specific networking session.
In a virtual session for both cohorts, Chamber learning & development staff introduce the parameters for the Individual Action Project, an opportunity for participants to apply what they learn in the program to a specific problem or issue in their companies or communities.
Participants are invited to observe stellar leadership in action at the Chamber’s premier event for women in business (and allied men). Held every January, the Pinnacle Awards honor professional women who have demonstrated excellence in different categories. This inspirational program draws over 1,000 participants from the business and government communities.
Using the leadership style identified in September, participants examine how others might perceive them because of their style and learn strategies for managing that perception while navigating gender politics. Furthermore, Boston Public Speaking, the Chamber’s delivery partner, assists participants in finding, amplifying, and using their voices with confidence.
First, we will explore team leadership in two ways: 1) outlining key elements of team effectiveness, and 2) examining the impact of leadership style on those elements. Participants gain skills for empowering themselves as effective self-advocates and then uncover the fundamentals of successful workplace negotiation and mutual gains problem solving.
Participants dive into intimate discussions on topics specific to women professionals through a Candid Conversations session with women business leaders from various sectors. Afterwards, participants continue to connect in their second networking reception.
Late in the month, participants witness gender dynamics and leadership in action in the popular Behind-the-Scenes of a Women-Led Business. Business and location changes year by year. In-person cohort attendance at this session is required, and virtual cohort attendance is encouraged.
In the final session, participants virtually present their Individual Action Projects, debrief the experience, then celebrate each other and the cohort’s success in a virtual graduation ceremony with special guest and keynote speakers.
