Join Us for a Special Roundtable Discussion on Self-Advocacy

In this one-hour session, attendees will receive an overview of the Forté Rise Program, a new professional development opportunity for mid-career women who are ready to progress to the executive level.  One of the unique aspects of Rise is the executive coach-guided conversations participants will have with other professional women across industries and functions facing similar challenges.

This Roundtable, on the topic of Self-Advocacy, will not only give you an overview of the Rise program, but will allow you to “test-drive” the Rise experience and learn more about the program in the process.

Are you finding that even while you excel at advocating for others, you aren’t always the best advocate for yourself?  Women often report feeling uncomfortable when discussing their accomplishments and their value.  For mid-career and early VP women, however, self-advocacy is a significant tool in helping you reach the next level.

Led by Executive Leadership Coach Ghita Filali, the roundtable portion of this event will give you the opportunity to share your experiences, and possibly struggles, with advocating for yourself.  

Note: space is limited for this session, and it is open to women who have an MBA and/or are ready to transition to the executive level.

The Roundtable discussion is led by Ghita Filali, Executive Leadership Coach and Lead Coach of Forté Rise.  Ghita Filali is an executive leadership coach with more than 20 years of international experience working with global business executives and leadership teams in complex change and transformational settings. She supports C-Suite executives, top level leaders and future principals in helping them to cultivate authentic presence, articulate a vision, lead inclusively, stand out, transition to new leadership roles, drive transformational change, and build effective high-performance teams.
