Modern Board Readiness

Tailored for the board seeker, but equally relevant and impactful for the executive looking to develop a strategic approach to leading the business. The curriculum is designed in two parts. First, deeply understand the job of the board and the essentials of board leadership across the full landscape of company types—from public to VC, family-owned, PE and ESOPs—and find your place within it. Then, define your unique board value proposition, learn how to build and leverage your network to find the right opportunities, and get tips to nail the board interview.  Led by experienced board directors sharing best practices and practical advice, you’ll deepen your understanding, build your confidence, and create connections that will help advance your path to the boardroom. 

Your board journey involves more than learning the skills and doesn’t end with the last session. From office hours to peer groups to help with resume and bio writing and connecting you with board opportunities, our support extends long after you’ve graduated so that you can gather feedback, ask for advice, and get guidance from other women leaders who know where you’ve been and what you’re going through.

Unleash Your Impact: Executive Excellence

Even athletes at the top of their game rely on coaches to continually hone their performance and sharpen their effectiveness. High performance leaders, those looking to harness the next big opportunity, need the same. Crafted for senior leaders aiming higher within the corporate ecosystem, this program is equally relevant for women looking to build their own business or play bigger within their field.  Led by top Athena coaches and leadership experts, this program provides the secret sauce of how to combine your technical expertise with effective presence and leadership skills. Unleash Your Impact helps your break through, by providing a roadmap to move from competence to high impact leadership at the top levels of any organization.

Architect Your Second Half

You've built a solid career with decades of experience. If you are like a lot of women, you reach an inflection point where you know you aren't done yet, but you're ready to try something new.  We're part of a generation redefining the concept of retirement, reshaping it into a new chapter of impact and fulfillment. It's exciting but can also feel discombobulating, vulnerable, and uncertain.  

This program is for those navigating transitions and contemplating the next phase of their professional journey. It’s grounded in concepts of self-discovery (or rediscovery), uncovering more of your hidden skills and heart’s desires, and helping to shape those into an intentional, structured plan for the next phase. Led by seasoned coaches who have successfully navigated their second half, it focuses on guiding individuals in redefining their role in the professional landscape; and even widening their Portfolio of Impact™ for a range of professional engagement from board and advisor work, to fractional CxO, consulting and teaching, to investing and more.
