Zooming out and considering the influencing factors at the company-wide, industry-wide, and macro levels allows us to understand the context in which our path forward exists. This enables us to identify and address any blockers or potential issues that may arise.

Our first Sticking Point for aspiring leaders is continuously demonstrating the ability to effectively lead others on a larger scale. It requires more than just managing a team; it involves leading the delivery of impact through the successes of others. This shift requires nuance, clarity, and persistence.

The second sticky point is network awareness, stakeholder management, and building meaningful partnerships to propel your progress. In this module, we will assess your ecosystem to identify hidden advocates or obstacles, and guide you on how to strategically shape your reputation.

In this module, we will learn how your communication needs to adapt as you elevate and grow in leadership. This includes adjusting your style, substance, and addressing the appropriate "level" of communication in a room. By becoming aware and intentional of the necessary shift, you can consistently and effectively communicate upwards and with your team.

Change is the only constant, and as a leader, you not only set the tone for change, but there will also be times when you initiate and implement changes that impact your team, stakeholders, and network. Alison will share some key principles of change design and how to apply them to the changes in your world.

This module consolidates your learnings into a tangible plan for moving forward. It includes priorities for ongoing learning, leveraging your support system, and identifying what you need to achieve your goal.
