Daily Leadership Renewal and Resilience
Begin each day with greater energy for cultivating focus,
balance, and leadership resilience. Join Ellen Wingard, a leading executive
coach to Fortune 500 professionals, an early innovator in bringing renewal
practices into the workplace, and co-editor of the book, Enlightened Power: How
Women Are Transforming the Practice of Leadership, at 7am each day for
centering exercises. (Note: Please wear comfortable attire and sneakers to
these sessions; you will have plenty of time to change before the keynote
kick-off each day.)
Learning Teams
Linkage will organize learning teams based on a pre-Summit
survey to identify participants' key leadership challenges, goals, and
objectives, years of experience, and industry focus. The Learning Teams occur
daily at the Summit. Facilitator-led, they feature small groups of peers who
discuss common issues and challenges in an open environment. In the end,
participants walk away with action tools and best practices, a focused strategy
for improvement, and a new peer network.
The Senior Leader Circle
The Senior Leader Circle (SLC) is an opportunity for senior
executives from large companies to learn from and share with peers in a
dialogue driven setting. The SLC is a safe place for senior level women leaders
to discuss hard issues and share ideas and solutions with each other.
Criteria for participation
Enrollment is limited to senior leaders from public or
privately owned companies, as well as from select nonprofit organizations.
Participants should be in positions within 2 levels of the CEO of a Fortune
1000 company or a privately held company of comparable size.
