About Programme
Discover why power is a skill set, then learn how to build yours and become a positively energizing leader.
While slow but steady gains have been made in terms of boardroom representation,* many women leaders don’t identify with the commonplace perception of ‘power’, typically associated with authority and force.
However, as the workplace changes, and long-standing productivity metrics prove increasingly unsustainable, a new approach is needed — one founded on purpose, empathy, communication, and well-being.
This online program equips you to harness your unique power as a woman leader to land an impact and drive positive change. Over six weeks, you’ll discover how power is a skill set that can be developed, and must encompass both strong attributes, such as charisma and persuasiveness, as well as connected traits, including empathy and communication.
Guided by Program Lead Convener Emma Seppälä and her esteemed Yale SOM colleagues, you’ll interrogate existing power structures in organizations, and learn how focusing on positive relational energy for leadership can help you transform your workplace for growth.
Finally, you’ll examine how everyday junctures can be leveraged for power, helping you become a more effective changemaker and driver of organizational success.

"This course taught me so many tangible takeaways and also reaffirmed some of the ways I was already leading, which was based on pure gut instinct. I loved meeting other women operating at high levels and sorting through the same issues!"
