“Accendo’s LEADForwardSM program has been exceptionally valuable to me as a female lawyer trying to excel in a field, which is still strongly male-dominated.

Participating in the sessions helped me sharpen my vision for the future, hone my negotiating skills, and perhaps most importantly, rethink my leadership roles and capabilities.”

 

LEADForward Roundtables are transformative, year-long, peer support groups led by Accendo partners, who are accomplished C-suite female leaders and certified executive coaches.

Each cohort includes up to 15 women who meet 9 times over the course of the year. This year’s cohort will be designed as a virtual experience, but MAY include some in-person sessions toward the later months of the program, IF conditions permit. Any In-person sessions would take place only if we are able to deliver in accordance with all Covid-19 safety guidelines and provided 100% of the participants are comfortable with the gatherings. Participants also receive 3 individual coaching sessions. Participants are high-potential female leaders with 10-15+ years of career experience and a proven ability in leadership roles who aspire to grow their careers at least 1-2 levels.

Organizational benefits of participating in LEADForwardSM 

  • Accelerate readiness of high potential women leaders for executive roles.
  • Enhance engagement, and thus retention, of high potential women leaders. 
  • Contribute to diversifying the gender mix within executive teams.

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE:

Members can be from the same company, network or industry, own their own business or simply opt in individually. The “low coach to leader” ratio allows for exclusive access and a hands on experience like no other. The group meets nine times over the course of one year to learn, share and challenge each other. Additionally, every member gets their turn in the FeedForward Opportunity Seat. The “Seat” is a positive way for each member to maximize and leverage the collective wisdom of the group to help solve a pressing issue.

Each participant receives three individual sessions with an Accendo executive coach. Cost is $4,800 per person which includes member registration and materials.
The next Tampa Bay cohort begins on April 29, 2021. Complete the application here.
