We, at Skirt Strategies, operate by certain tenets (the girl code)
- Women do things differently
- Women?s natural leadership traits are strong business levers when utilized
- When outnumbered, women?s natural skills may not emerge
- Women are not moving into higher leadership positions often because they feel uncomfortable adapting male leadership attributes to fit in
- We teach women to embrace their natural leadership strengths
- Learning should be fun!
Skirt Strategies? Philosophies
- Development begins on a personal commitment level
- Tiny Trainings = Big Results
- Leadership growth must be incremental, continuous, and reinforced by the environment
- Leadership requires self-awareness, training, and maintenance of a host of skills and techniques
- Skirt Strategies continually puts a wide range of leadership opportunities in front of its participants through a variety of channels: workshops, emailed assignments, study groups, online forums, and personal mentoring.
What is it about Skirt Strategies that yanks your chain a bit?
- Could it be that you've been a victim of a good ol'; boy network?
- Maybe you've been looking for that promotion, but you feel like you're not taken seriously. (honestly, that's what you "get"; for being young and cute)
- Are you feeling that you're missing something?; You're stuck or needing a smooth transition to something else?
- I know! You're juggling too many balls and the work-life balance just ain't happening. (Ain't nobody got time for that.)
- Do you have iron-poor blood and can't seem to get your hair to do what you want it to?
- No one pays attention to you when you wear your power-cape. That's just irritating!
Any or all of those, or you JUST want to be better at leading. It's about professional development!
These are our objectives, at least the biggies
- To help you attain your personal and professional goals.
- Develop the leadership pipeline nationally with high-potential and capable women.
- Educate members and provide an ongoing professional training.
