CUSTOM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE AIMS TO ADVANCE WOMEN IN A UNIQUE FORMAT – ON THEIR SCHEDULE

Toronto – December 3, 2012 – Have I found my passion? Have I tapped into my fullest capacity to perform? These are just some of the questions professional women ask themselves. But the really amazing aspect is that women who can’t answer them, don’t believe their corporations will invest in them, that they are not worth it; when in fact, many corporations are looking to help their talented women advance in the pipeline to the senior executive ranks.

Enter, the Women of Influence Advancement Centre that provides an a la carte offering designed specifically to build women’s confidence in themselves and their talent, while providing flexible timing to work around her other priorities. No one has to ask for a big ticket item, or too much time away from home or work, in order to advance. This is designed for women, when and how they need it.

We believe that every executive must be prepared to lead her organization and tap into her unique and authentic leadership skills, and we believe that they can. Women of Influence Inc. and Knightsbridge are partnering to help women do just that with the Women of Influence Advancement Centre – a resource for ambitious women looking to develop their professional skills.

Women of Influence and Knightsbridge bring together a carefully selected group of leaders, coaches and resources to coach these women on how to elevate their influence, tap into their passion for increased performance and organizational impact, all to achieve new levels of confidence and results.

The curriculum combines topics that promote proactive business leadership, including personal branding, executive presence, strategic networking and influencing, plus a focus on enhancing your collaborative and problem-solving skills. Simultaneously, you can compare insights, share experiences and try out new ideas with an exceptional group of peers, seasoned coaches and Women of Influence guest lecturers.

"If you're an ambitious woman in business, customized professional development is a must," says Carolyn Lawrence, President and CEO of Women of Influence.
