Skirt Studies
A Not-So-Drab Course in Building Feminine Leadership
Why take this course
Natural feminine skills are proven to provide a healthy balance to the workplace, yet we often dismiss them as "inappropriate." Wow - are we shooting outselves in the foot?Your inherent skills of empathy, sensing undercurrents, building consensus, and big-picture thinking are just a few examples. Make sure you use all your strengths!
Discover all 16 skills and define them for you, testing them at work, and challenging yourself to do more.
How the course works
A different lesson will be delivered to you weekly, over the course of 12 weeks. These take anywhere from 20 minutes up to an hour each, and are highly adaptable to your work situation.Each lesson affirms a critical business skill and applies the feminine approach to it. I will ask you about your natural approach and whether you may be compromising it or whether you are indeed utilizing it.
Why we are a little different
We don't deal well with being too serious, so we have kept the course contents light-hearted. We learn better when we have a sense of humor, especially about ourselves.And to add a little girly flavor, Skirt Studies rewards your accomplishment at the end of the 12 weeks with an optional little charm. Oh so cute. You can take subsequent courses and fill out your charm bracelet! It's all about the fashion .... well not really, but it is a fun little distraction.
The 4 Corners of Feminine Leadership
Business skills are varied. One model that recurs in Skirt Studies is the Intuition Model, describing the full array of how we operate.
Make no mistake! Leadership skills are critical ... but if you are attuned to your natural approach, won't you be more likely to succeed?
