Prospective Candidates

Ideal candidates are already considered top leaders, but they have more “head room” for growth. They are new to or on the cusp of senior executive ranks. Titles usually include GMs with large P&Ls, SVPs, VPs, Heads of functional areas, and select Senior Directors. These leaders are focused less on building new skills and more on gaining perspective, building a powerful network, plus renewing their energy and passion for leadership with our Signature program.

Option 1

Peer-to-Peer Experience

The Signature program creates a trusting environment where participants candidly share their knowledge and experiences with peers from across companies, geographies, industries, and roles. Successful senior women executives serve as faculty and mentors – practitioners learning from practitioners. The 3 days of immersive table work, one-on-ones, panel sessions, and group dinners provide opportunities to expand their networks and level up their premier leadership.

Practical Content

Practical Content

Our executive leadership development program focuses on encouraging executives to augment the leadership Signature that makes them authentic. Action-based learning from real-life business situations allow participants to test ideas and receive valuable peer and mentor input. Whether it is establishing a personal brand, creating a powerful network, or increasing energy, participants leave Signature Premier with immediate actions and changes to put in place.

Powerful Network

Powerful Network

Unlike typical seminars and conferences, Signature Premier executive leadership development lives beyond the 3-day immersion session. Signature alumni move forward with an invaluable connection of peers and C-suite advisors who support their careers and life journeys.

Signature facilitated introspection in an encouraging and inspirational environment. Learning the value of taking care of myself, understanding my own brand and bringing my authentic self to my interactions with others is helping me to be a better leader, colleague, mentor and friend.

I went through Signature Premier in 2014, and I am still using what I learned. I am always preparing in advance with the questions I want to ask and determining how I show up for every important meeting that I have.

To be with a group of dynamic women all facing the same challenges was not a big surprise... the surprise came with the panels & speakers giving advice and direction that has truly made a difference! Thank You to my Signature family– I reread my notes often and always find a new nugget to guide me.

I was promoted shortly after attending the first cohort of Signature Premier. The work I did to prepare for our Signature session really helped me articulate why I wanted the job, what I could bring, and aided me in my start up with my new team.

Carol Seymour - Founder and CEOCarol Seymour

Founder and CEO

Carol Seymour is a sought-after business leader and catalyst for growth. As an executive advisor to businesses and executives around the globe, she has a passion for helping leaders perform at maximum potential in their professions and lives.

She founded Signature Leaders in 2013 at the request of a dozen global heads of HR and now runs multiple leadership-focused offerings. Programs FOR women, not about women. The Signature Premier program – for senior female executives, is a unique development initiative and peer network with only 120 candidates per year. Today, more than 1400 global executives in the Fortune 1000 are part of Signature. Signature Leaders partners with more than 130 market-leading companies for their selective investments.  Eastman, ADP, Ahold Delhaize, Ingersoll Rand, ServiceNow, Cardinal Health, Merck, UPS, Nestle, Southern Company, AT&T, and Maersk are a few of the representative partners.

Carol has a successful track record as a senior executive in large cap companies, startups, and private equity-backed organizations. She has led critical transformations, product/service innovations, and fast-track turn-arounds. Chief Marketing and Commercial roles at Accenture, Spherion, MeadWestvaco, and DBM led her to build World 50, the world’s premier senior executive networking organization. She launched six C-suite private memberships as she grew World 50. Prior to starting Signature Leaders, she was a managing director of G100, a private CEO network for 200 CEOs globally.

Over the past decade, Carol has interviewed more than 1000 C-suite executives for their leadership insights. She has orchestrated executive discussions among some of the world’s most acclaimed leaders and CEOs. Several of her highlighted interviews include: Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat/Chrysler, just two days after Chrysler paid off its government debt; and Hugh Grant, CEO of Monsanto and CEO of the Year. She has also facilitated discussions with Condoleezza Rice, Greg Norman, Fred Smith, Paul Azinger, and Doris Kearns Goodwin, among others, extracting high impact ideas for executives to action in their own organizations.

Carol is the author of Wisdom Warriors: Women with the Courage to be True to Themselves, a collection of 200 stories and lessons of leadership AND life from amazing, accomplished executives. The book is being used by companies, coaches, and executives to catalyze organizations to share stories. Carol also authored a custom version of the book for Cargill and CEO Dave MacLennan, and for Ahold Delhaize and CEO Dick Boer. Carol is also a top-rated speaker, named one of the Top 40 Women Keynote Speakers for 2020 by RealLeaders Magazine, spending most of her speaking time with women’s forums, industry conferences, and client leadership forums.

Carol is a Founding Member of Paradigm for Parity and uses Signature Leaders to do her part to address the gender gap in executive levels. “Two through You”, an on-line resource, was launched to help companies build their formal sponsorship programs.

Carol resides in Cashiers, NC and spent 34 years in Atlanta. She has two married children, two granddaughters, and a grandson.
