Signature Experiences Accelerate Leaders Throughout the Talent Pipeline

  • C-Suite Successors

  • Senior Executives

  • Rising Executives

  • Mid-Career Leaders

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?
  • Leaders receive in leadership programs receive eye-opening advice and a priceless professional network with Signature Premier

  • “I sent people to Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Insead, but when I send them to Signature, they come back different.”
    — Lisa Buckingham, Former CHRO, Lincoln Financial Group

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 leaders, and Strive provides exposure to the senior executives in your organization who can truly increase their visibility and the velocity of their careers.
  • "I am better because of Strive. The course content [and everyone involved] helped me validate my strengths and highlight opportunities for further development, while giving me tools to take action. My confidence in my leadership capabilities, which were enhanced by Strive, enabled my recent promotion."
    — Heather Wheeler, Sr Director, Nestle

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

Your leadership concepts are simple and actionable, and they continuously resonate with me. In fact, I have shared many of these concepts with my own leadership team to inform optimal team behaviors.

“The Signature Program was a game changer for me as a CEO because it gave me invaluable insights on how to increase my capacity and leverage my strengths in a strategic and more intentional way. This leadership program was a definite value add that I would recommend to emerging and established leaders.”

Lisa Gordon

Lisa Gordon

Chief Operating Officer, City of Atlanta

“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!”

The Power of the Signature Network

Signature Leaders Programs

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.

Learning and connection continue well beyond our leadership programs as we create ongoing value through our robust alumni offerings and platform.

“To miss a Signature Collective Session would be a mistake”

—Tabbassum Gupta, Head of S2Infra GM Operations, Google Cloud
