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.

Powerful-Network

Peer-to-Peer Experience

We create 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 2.5 days of immersive table work, one-on-ones, panel sessions, and group dinners provide opportunities to expand their networks.

Practical Content

Practical Content

Our curriculum 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.

Unlike typical seminars and conferences, Signature Premier lives beyond the 2.5-day immersion session. Signature alumni move forward with an invaluable connection of peers and C-suite advisors who support their careers and life journeys. Alumni enjoy follow-up refresher calls and face-to-face Signature Circle meetings in over 15 cities worldwide.

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 Premier in 2013 as a single, targeted development opportunity for senior executives. She has grown the program into a company with multiple levels of development programs and custom workshops.

Carol has interviewed more than 1,000 C-suite executives for their leadership insights. In 2017, she authored the book Wisdom Warriors, a collection of profiles and anecdotes gathered from accomplished women executives. Over 70 contributors shared their personal stories to help pass leadership wisdom to their peers and the next generation.

Carol speaks frequently at female network and industry association gatherings, such as NAPCO, CoreNet, and the California Women’s Banking Association. She also helps companies structure key leadership meetings and acts as a facilitator for the events, including Avery Dennison’s Top 200 event and Walmart’s Executive Women forum.

Prior to starting Signature Leaders, Carol held Chief Marketing Officer and Commercial roles at Accenture, Spherion, MeadWestvaco, and DBM. She has led critical transformations, product/service innovations, and turnarounds in large cap companies, startups, and private-equity backed organizations.

She spent several years building World50, a premier senior executive networking organization, as well as G100, a private CEO network for 200 global CEOs. She also founded G100 Inside, which created CEO strategy and leadership development programs for top executives.

Carol is a founding member of Paradigm for Parity, which is a movement of CEOs, senior executives, board members, and business academics committed to achieving gender parity at the senior levels of all major corporations by 2030. She has also launched the initiative called TWOthroughYOU, which asks leaders to take simple action by sponsoring two high-potential women into next level leadership.

Carol’s family includes her daughter, Paige, and her husband, Santos, who are working on mission in Nicaragua and her son, Rob, and his wife, Michelle, who work as part of the team at Signature Leaders. When she isn’t traveling around the globe to connect and inspire others, Carol enjoys the beauty of living in the mountains near Cashiers, North Carolina.

“Wisdom Warriors illustrates in vividly drawn sketches why we are so much richer as a result of our differences. Sharing our personal stories not only helps others, but it transforms and strengthens all of us.”

– David W. MacLennan, Chairman & CEO | Cargill

“Wisdom Warriors demonstrates why leading life intentionally makes for better leaders. There isn’t a story inside that doesn’t relate to someone! Buy copies to share with colleagues, friends and daughters.”

– Gail Evans, Author | Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman
