Path to Promotion Career Development Course

It's a unique and unparalleled coaching and mentoring program that champions women to become the CEO's, leaders and executives of our future.

Through sophisticated learning techniques, we immerse women in a journey of
self-analysis and discovery as they develop executive-level performance, behaviours and mindsets.

You know you are destined for greater things but don’t have clear direction on how to push yourself forward and feel underappreciated and undervalued in your current role.
