Executive Leadership Program
Vision for a New Future
The NEXT•UP program was a successful new offering in 2023, inspired by the NEXT program, with a broader reach to serve motivated women on the path to senior leadership positions. This program is for women in search of community and advanced studies in self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-value. Designed by women, for women, NEXT•UP is an inspired, accelerated, and immersive program where we explore Imposter Syndrome, and uncover your unique values, beliefs, fears, and superpowers. We will help define what you want next and how to go after it.
The 2025 program will include three virtual sessions (July 17, 18, 25) and a full-day in-person session following the U.S. WIN conference (July 31, 2025). Several alumni from the NEXT program will serve as mentors for the NEXT•UP participants for the year following the sessions.
