Dear Colleague,

There’s a difference between being underrepresented and being underestimated. That’s why women leaders in higher education – from chairs and directors to provosts and presidents – often face the same persistent double standards as their counterparts in other sectors, even as women have higher levels of representation.

After two decades of advising college and university presidents, VPs, and other senior leaders, I’ve partnered with The Chronicle of Higher Education to develop a workshop that will help shed light on the forces that women leaders in academe are up against, and empower them to make meaningful change in their roles and at their institutions.

Particularly in the uncertain times higher ed is facing, women leaders shoulder unique burdens. Our innovative virtual program will cover these distinctive challenges:

  • Clarity in the Chaos | Strategies for leading teams through shifting priorities, points of friction, and resistance to change
  • Owning Your Leadership Story | Practical tools for navigating double standards, owning your voice, and making time for what matters most
  • Community Care in an Age of Disconnection | Building your community of support, strengthening culture, and sharing the load

In today's challenging landscape, it’s important to ensure that the women leaders on your campus have the space, time, and tools to advance their skills and foster personal and institutional growth. Be sure to visit our website to learn more and register today to save a spot—these important workshops start in less than two weeks.

I look forward to meeting you soon!


Warmly,
