There is a great course on Women in Leadership this spring, open to non-Foster School students. It would be great to have a diverse audience across multiple disciplines on campus:
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP -MGMT 490A – Spring 2016

- Location: Paccar 292
- Time: Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:20 PM
- SLN: 16891

We will use the lives and experiences of remarkable female world leaders and role models, as well as the experiences of local guest speakers, to find personal answers to the same questions, enhance skills and create a personal vision. We will:
- Interact with at least seven local women in leadership positions (including a CEO, a successful entrepreneur, co-founders of a business that grooms women leaders, a manager whose husband stays at home with the children, and a novelist. You will also have the opportunity to contact and personally interview another leader you admire.)
- Apply a leadership framework that has helped women around the world succeed
- Build your appetite and comfort with the risk-taking that will help you excel
- Create a person vision board to picture your ideal career and life
- Examine different ideas of work-life balance
- Practice your authentic leadership style to hone your most powerful voice and presence
- Translate your strengths, values, dreams, and goals into a life and career worthy of you
