Executive Leadership Program
Vision for a New Future
The NEXT•UP program is a new offering inspired by the successful NEXT program with a broader reach to serve motivated women on the path to senior leadership positions 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 pilot program 2023 included two virtual sessions and a full-day in-person session following the U.S. WIN conference. Several alumni from the NEXT program will serve as mentors for the NEXT•UP participants for the year following the sessions.
