Asian Business League of San Francisco presents "You are the CEO of You! - Essential Skills for the C-Suite"

A leadership program designed for Asian American women in business

Asian Business League of San Francisco (ABL-SF) is proud to announce its 3rd annual leadership program You are the CEO of You! This bi-weekly, six-part seminar workshop has been uniquely developed for Asian American women in business. We will address issues and challenges confronted by Asian American women in business, and offer insights and skills practice for greater career and personal success. Our workshop planners and faculties represent some of the top leaders in business.

We have achieved tremendous success in the past two years, with participants from middle to senior management levels of various industries and organizations. The workshops provide an intimate learning environment for participants to explore concepts and acquire skills to take charge of their careers’ success and personal achievement. The outcome will include individual visions and action plans. We will combine presentations by experts with interactive small group sessions as well as offline small group homework assignments.
