Rotman Women in Leadership Online Program
Overcome the internalized barriers to your success as a woman in the workplace and embark on a journey of reflection.
Women are still facing barriers to success within the workplace. These obstacles have developed over time, and have been passed down through generations. While some are obvious, many have become internalized.
This Women in Leadership online program gives you the tools to face these barriers. Over the course of six weeks, you'll develop an understanding of historical and cultural constructs that have shaped the belief systems of women in the workplace, and be empowered on your career journey. You'll be exposed to the research and techniques of Program Director Maja Djikic as you develop a strong leadership presence by enhancing your communication skills and emotional intelligence. Through personal reflection, you'll explore gender stereotypes and how they influence your personal and professional desires and motivations. You'll also learn to engage with your inner voice and dialogue, and navigate potential imposter syndrome. You'll walk away prepared to overcome workplace challenges and craft your future as a woman in leadership.
