· May 3, 2008

8:00 am – 3:30 pm

Point Plaza Suites and Conference Hotel, Newport News, VA.

Over the past 8 years, Women’s Leadership Coaching Inc. has interviewed over 1,000 women about their leadership aspirations, the skills they wish to develop, and the roadblocks they face. They discovered a common set of challenges faced by corporate women wanting to advance their careers, and a set of 12 skills necessary to break through those roadblocks.

The principles, processes and case studies used by WLC to successfully coach hundreds of women worldwide have now been packaged together for your benefit in a high-impact, high-intensity seminar.

Designed for corporate women who want to accelerate their transition into leadership roles, the Poised for Leadership seminar is led by Jo Miller, CEO of Women’s Leadership Coaching.

You will discover
...what it really takes to break through into leadership, including how to:

· Project a seasoned, credible leadership presence

· Gain visibility and reward for your accomplishments

· Build a reputation as a leader, expert or go-to person

· Understand the dynamics of power in your organization

· Build your sphere of influence

· Leverage your network to gain access to hidden resources, information and opportunities

· Cultivate influence, and get buy-in for ideas and initiatives

· Create, envision, strategize and lead high-profile projects.

You will leave with a personalized strategic action plan, to ensure real-world immersion in the concepts.

What previous participants are saying:

"I've worked for my company for 20 years and this seminar is by far one of the best I've ever attended. All of the material is very useful and would apply to any woman in any company. It was a great opportunity to interact with women who have such diverse backgrounds are so willing to share information and ideas. Jo (the facilitator) is fabulous and you will definitely walk away with a new inspiration and determination."

"Rarely have I attended a conference so rich in usable materials. I have new tools in my "bag" that I can use immediately and with excellent results".

"... a fast-paced and fun [ ] day of solid learning and networking opportunities. Anyone who aspires to leadership is highly recommended to take this course - both for the specific range of tactical and strategic skills taught and for the growth and self-insight gained".
