MADISON, Wis.—Talent development leader CUES and Cornell University have teamed up to bring the Women in Leadership Digital Certification Program to the credit union industry.
“Women typically face unique challenges on their way up the professional ladder, challenges that continue once they are in a leadership position. Women can learn to overcome these obstacles and achieve more in their careers, while still maintaining a balanced life,” said Nicole Morrison, CUES VP/Marketing. “That’s where Women in Leadership, from CUES and Cornell University, comes in. We’ll take a deep dive into typical roadblocks, and look at ways women can perfect smart strategies to mastering strong leadership qualities without being penalized.”
The program pairs eCornell’s award-winning certificate programs with live-taught online classes developed by Cornell University faculty. The course was designed to avoid Zoom fatigue, with self-paced study featuring content from top-rated programs with proven curricula. Attendees will also learn directly from Deborah Streeter, Professor Emeritus, Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, Cornell University, during two online sessions.
“Women in Leadership is an important addition to CUES wealth of offerings, as it helps us fulfil our commitment to DEI,“ said Christopher Stevenson, CAE, CIE, SVP/Chief Learning Officer. “And the course isn’t just for women; men should also attend to learn how to advocate for their colleagues and direct reports.”
Women in Leadership will cover:
- Smart Negotiation Tactics for Women
