C-Suite Successors

Signature Surge

Built-in Personal Board of Advisors to inspire innovation and navigate complex demands
When in the top levels of leadership, who do you lean on when facing a new challenge? Who do you turn to for guidance on your own growth?
“Signature Surge has been an incredible resource for my own leadership development as well as an amazing community of women and advisors who I have leaned on many times. The outside perspective when facing uncertain leadership situations, evaluating new opportunities, or sharing best practices across many topics has been invaluable. “
—Lisa Banks, Chief Financial Officer, SpotOn

Senior Executives

Signature Premier

Solidifying critical leadership behaviors and providing external perspectives for your leaders to excel at the next level
Do your leaders create impact and influence within the organization, or are they bogged down in day-to-day management? Can they bring outside perspectives and innovation for the benefit of the company? Are they doing enough to advocate for and advance future leaders?
Women in leadership programs receive eye-opening advice and a priceless professional network with Signature Premier
“After Signature, I felt I had a competitive advantage. It increased my confidence, boosted my thought leadership and gave me the tools to be laser sharp. My team sees it and benefits from it.”
—Tina Tromiczak, SVP Recruitment Process Outsourcing, ADP

Rising Executives

Signature Strive

Personal growth through diverse perspectives and career growth through committed sponsors
What is most beneficial for your diverse leaders? An internal program or an external one? Being surrounded by others like them or given an opportunity to be sponsored by senior leaders much different from them?
Strive provides the unique opportunity to do both. Faculty, Advisors, and peers who have been in their shoes maximize the learning opportunities for your diverse female leaders, and Strive provides exposure to the senior executives in your organization who can truly increase their visibility and the velocity of their careers.

Mid-Career Leaders

Signature Select

Transforming mindsets from working more to working differently
How do you transition from managing to leading? How do you create the capacity to take on a bigger role? What relationships do you need to cultivate to perform at the next level?
Select guides mid-career leaders to transform how they approach leadership and life. This is the first time that many of these leaders have really stepped back to consider how they need to begin working differently, and the experience has been described by many as “life-changing”. Leaders walk away with tools and practical next steps to help them take their careers to the next level and make a bigger impact for their companies.
“Signature Select has been life changing, not just in my professional life, personal too! The course is designed around me (YOU), making me (YOU) realize your full potential. I have been on multiple courses on leadership, however this is the most life changing event in my career.”
—Hermien Ratcliff, Agile Transformation expert, Merck Group

This leadership program was a definite value add that I would recommend to emerging and established leaders.”

Lisa Gordon

Chief Operating Officer, City of Atlanta

“I have to say I tend to not favor women leadership as they focus too much on gender, but these 3 days were different! All of the pieces are actionable changes I can make. Also, I love how the info is stackable! It’s funny, you wonder if you can make 3 days at a leadership conference work, and then you realize you need more time!”

Kelly Fanning

GM and VP, US Marketing, Bayer

“The Signature Sponsor journey map and actions communicated for moving from Mentor to Sponsor was such an eye-opener that I realized I wasn’t taking enough action to ENRICH the sponsees I had for several years.”

Powerful Collective for Better Business Solutions

Creative Business Solutions

One alumna’s company was a client of another alumna’s company. As they had launched the client-vendor relationship, the service integration had a number of snags. With a great relationship already established, the two members (who were not directly involved in the integration issues) were able to elevate the discussion and bring the right people together from each company to resolve the challenge. It resulted not only in significant savings in time and cost, but a stronger partnership between the companies.

Enterprise-wide Development

Two Signature Premier participants were paired together at a Premier session. One was located in Italy and the other in Detroit, but both had responsibility for managing a plant for their respective companies. While at Premier, they decided to visit one another’s plants to share best practices around how they created efficiencies and motivated employees. When visiting Detroit, the alumna from Italy was welcomed by senior leaders from the Detroit company. They walked the plant together and invited her to join a few meetings as they discussed KPIs. The ongoing relationship created value for both women in their careers and for their companies.
