accelerating

more deserving women into the senior ranks of leadership,

The Signature Program™ was concepted, designed and sponsored by senior executives at global companies such as
Coca-Cola Enterprises, Cargill, AP Moller Maersk, Blackstone, Hilton, Hyatt, TE Connectivity, & eBay among others.

The Signature Program does not replace existing leadership development provided by these organizations. Instead, it augments their focus and investment in a handful of executives to fast track these selected leaders on the cusp of taking senior leadership roles. Participants from more than 80 companies, 5 continents and all leadership roles come to engage in a candid peer based learning experience.

What started as a program has become an expedition.

Launched in 2013, this is anything but a “program.” It enables accomplished leaders to get outside of their own four walls, spend time reflecting on their personal growth, absorb rich leadership lessons surrounded by C-suite executives serving as faculty, and go deep to work through the hard stuff.

and it doesn’t end.
Alumni, mentors, and faculty all stay involved in the ongoing Signature Network™, a supportive and sustainable constellation of valuable connections.

More than 300 women have been part of our expedition. Each one is a “wisdom warrior” who shares her experiences, wins, hurdles, spirit and support with others. Their dedication to “passing the torch of wisdom” to their own teams, global organizations and families is making a significant difference.

And that torch has resulted in more support and bigger ideas to expand the initiative, which now includes Signature Select™ and the new Dialogues of Distinction™.

Signature stands for authenticity, but authenticity requires a certain measure of vulnerability, integrity and trust. The Signature Program offers the right context to share experiences with a group of amazing and incredible authentic women.

This is less about capability building and more about perspective gaining. It allows you time to focus on yourself both personally and professionally. The experience prompts you to take charge, make decisions and activate change.

- Linda Hlavac, Global Vice President, HR Site Operations | Catalent Pharma Solutions

I see leadership development programs all over the world, and Signature is truly a stand-out. The caliber of executives who support the program is unparalleled. The content hits what senior women really care about. And the women come with open minds and hearts, ready to connect and be real, and forge relationships that will define their careers. It's not about participating in a program; it's about being invited to join a select leadership community.
