Women's Leadership: Boost your skills and drive change

via edX

Overview

Discover your leadership style and enhance your skills with our Women's Leadership course, tailored to equip you with a gender perspective in professional settings. Understand the landscape of women's leadership performance in Latin America and the Caribbean, recognize the critical benefits of increased female representation in regional decision-making positions, and explore the challenges and opportunities for women aiming for leadership roles.

Despite women making up 60% of graduates in higher education within Latin America and the Caribbean, they hold only 8.3% of board positions. This stark contrast underscores the urgency for enhancing leadership abilities. Engaging in this course allows you to dive into the type of leadership required in today's dynamic environment, assess and refine your own leadership style, and leverage mentoring for advance career planning.

The curriculum provides practical tools for self-discovery that aid in developing a strong 'personal brand,' and techniques for using it effectively to unlock new opportunities. It helps boost emotional intelligence, communication skills, assertiveness, self-confidence, public persona, adaptability, persuasion, and resilience.

Optimize your professional journey and step into leadership with just two hours a week, at your convenience from any location. This course is self-paced, allowing registration at any time—even post commencement.

Choose between the Audit track for a free 10-week access, or the Verified track, granting prolonged access and the opportunity to earn a verified certificate and a digital badge upon successful completion for a fee of $29.
