Women Who Lead: Building Confidence as an Employer

January 20, 2026 @ 9:00 am - March 17, 2026 @ 10:30 am

Being a good leader is not just good business – it’s the key to success. One of the most important predictors of staff retention and performance is the effectiveness of the boss.

Chances are, no one taught you how to be an effective leader…Don’t panic! Like everything else with business, leadership is a skill you can develop and practice.

Cultivating a leadership mindset and learning how to execute effective leadership can help you grow your business and your confidence.

Throughout this peer group, you’ll unlock the confidence to explore and establish:
