Description

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 2nd annual leadership program You are the CEO of You! which has been uniquely developed for Asian American women in business. This program has been developed to address issues and challenges confronted by minority women, specifically, Asian American women, in today’s business environment and will be taught by some of the top leaders in business.

You are the CEO of You! aims to provide specific skills that are essential for the C-Suite, board room and top level of organizations. Our inaugural program last year was a tremendous success, with participants who were senior managers, directors, vice presidents and other executives from various industries and organizations. This program provides a clear roadmap for participants to take charge of their careers and personal success through a series of interactive training courses. This innovative bi-weekly, six-part series will combine presentations by experts with interactive break-out sessions that will produce individual action plans. This opportunity is limited to a small number of participants who will be selected through an application process based on the criteria listed below:

Criteria
  • Experience level (must have 7+ years of work experience)
  • Commitment to personal and leadership development (must commit to all sessions)
