Signature Select

The leadership program created to prepare mid-level executives to thrive at the next level

Through the success of Signature Premier, alumni asked us to impact women earlier in their careers.
Signature Select is an initiative launched with several global companies passionate about increasing the number of women in their leadership pipelines.

Prospective Candidates

Ideal candidates have reached the critical point where they must pivot from doing/achieving to leading/influencing an organization in order to reach next level leadership. They are typically one or two levels below a Signature Premier candidate, and titles include Director, Senior Manager, or Manager with fast-track potential to the next level.

Peer to Peer Experience

Peer-to-Peer Experience

Participants are invited to 2.5 days of immersive learning taught by executive role models. They join a peer group of multi-discipline, cross-industry leaders from around the world in candid group discussions, one-on-ones, panel sessions, and networking dinners. An invitation from an executive sponsor and post-session calls with executive faculty are used to recognize these participants as key future leaders.

Practical Content

Participants are facing a critical point in their careers where they are making the pivot from managing to leading. Signature Select gives them the capabilities and the confidence to successfully transition. Our curriculum provides the knowledge and support to navigate through uncertainty, create a basis for action, and have the courage to move decisions and teams forward. Participants hear from role models on how to manage career progression with external demands of family and personal life choices.

Powerful-Network

Powerful Network

Alumni join the powerful Signature Network, including executive faculty members and advisors who support their careers and life journeys. Structured follow-up activities encourage ongoing learning, sharing, and the practical application of new skills and perspectives. The shared experience of Signature Select also creates deep intra-company connections among alumni who commit to sharing their progress with one another as accountability partners.

I can honestly say this was the best program I have attended! The materials and activities were very relevant and extremely insightful. I enjoyed meeting the other participants and realizing that we all are faced with many of the same challenges in both our professional and personal lives. We all shared our experiences and what "tips" and "tricks" we have used to work through situations. I feel a renewed sense of direction and focus; I look forward to continued learning within this wonderful network of amazing professional women.

I needed the pointers and guidance to see that it is not always the BIG things that need to change but that a few small changes can have a big impact. Every single topic was so appropriate and applicable to my personal development. I met some amazing people and cannot remember when last I laughed as much. As predicted it has given me the fresh energy that was so needed and missing. Now I will make the necessary changes to be true to myself.

I love how Signature keeps everything positive and helps us focus on the choices each of us has. External factors will always push at us, but I have a new sense of calm and less stress when dealing with obstacles. There is power in owning your position. I’d rather fight for ideas to move the company forward than fight to get my voice heard.

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
