EmPOWERed Women: Taking the Stage is a program that enables women to view leadership through the lens of communication – supporting them to develop the skills needed to be seen as strong, confident leaders. EmPOWERed Women achieves this by addressing fundamental communication habits that often reduce women’s ability to come across as influential leaders in their organizations. In this program participants will learn how to communicate effectively and discover how to adopt an empowered mindset, speak with clarity and intention, unlock the power of their voice, and achieve a confident and authentic presence. They discover how to adopt an empowered mindset, script themselves with clarity and intention, unlock the power of their voice, and achieve a confident and authentic presence.
Women In Nuclear Canada is pleased to offer this specific cohort as an in-person experience. Group sizes are capped at a 12:2 participant to instructor ratio to ensure ample individual feedback and opportunities for social learning. Participants will leave this program with skills they have already had a chance to apply, test, and receive feedback on over the course of the experience.
