This course helps participants build the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to lead effectively in government settings. Through four modules, participants examine the role of women in federal leadership, explore common leadership styles such as authentic and transformational leadership, and consider how trust, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness shape leadership success.
Throughout the course, participants explore real-world experiences and challenges women may face in federal leadership roles, while learning about strategies for growth, collaboration, and career advancement. Participants reflect on their own leadership strengths, identify areas for development, and leave with a personalized Leadership Development Plan to support their continued growth as leaders who can foster trust, champion others, and make a meaningful impact in public service.
