We hope you will join us for this sneak peek at our new Women On Boards series, which is part of our new Premium Membership- coming soon! You asked for it, and we are happy to deliver new leadership development resources. We’ve partnered with FranklinCovey, the world’s most trusted leadership company, to bring you FranklinCovey workshops and the exclusive FranklinCovey Access Pass, which includes 360° assessments, a weekly professional development newsletter, and all of FranklinCovey online course offerings as part of your annual Forté Premium Membership. We’ll have more details about this new opportunity in a few weeks, but for now, join us on May 5th for our first Women On Boards session.
Intrigued by the thought of being on a corporate board? You are not alone. In collaboration with the Forté Alumni Leadership Council, we are excited to bring to you a series of discussions and workshops which will help you better understand the steps you can take to claim your seat at the table. Our series will kick off with a moderated discussion featuring one such woman who is widely considered one of the most powerful women in business, Marjorie Magner, who will share her story; as well as, advice about the actions you might want to take to work toward that board seat.
In the first two months of 2023, women gained 34 seats on the boards of S&P 500 companies, increasing the percentage of total women to 32.5%. Forté’s newest speaking series, Women on Boards, both highlights the stories of those in that 32.5% and helps direct the efforts and intentions of those who aspire to move that percentage even higher. As a segment of the Forté Premium Membership level, Women on Boards offers quarterly insights and encouragement for all who have dreamt of having a seat at the table.

This session is designed to explore “imposter syndrome,” a powerful paradigm in which we feel like frauds despite concrete evidence of our accomplishments and success. In this session, we’ll explore imposter syndrome’s origins and its negative impact on one’s sense of self confidence and mental health. Acknowledging that so many of us experience imposter syndrome at times, we will use compelling concepts from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to affirm a more authentic and confident self. The session is experiential. Participants will be invited to explore the impact of this syndrome and make a commitment to move beyond it.
