Moving Women Forward

Leadership Academy - Dale Carnegie 2019 Series

Developing the Powerful Woman in You: Confident, Assertive and In-Charge

It is time to take back the adjectives that describe us and our fellow women, and move forward with confidence, resilience and dignity! In this training, we will learn how to boldly deal with difficult situations and maintain control of those situations by being assertive, but not seen as aggressive. We’ll learn how to say no when the situation is worth fighting for. By understanding the other person’s point of view — along with our recognizing natural strengths — we can not only have impact on others’ perceptions of us but we can also win people to our way of thinking without damaging our reputation.

Testimonials

“I participated in both Phase I and Phase II of the CEL program. It was really rewarding to be with other Cable members every week in a relaxed setting to learn and discuss higher-level business topics that you just don’t have time to delve into in your normal day-to-day professional life. Hearing thoughts, questions, comments and energetic discussion, especially when Cable members shared specific problems or situations they’re dealing with, not only was a great learning experience but also helped me to get to know those other members better. This type of learning—with trusted colleagues—helps build stronger networking relationships and lays a more solid foundation to better support each other in our business and professional development.”

“My participation in the Center of Executive Leadership was truly a rewarding investment in myself. The variety of subject matter afforded me the opportunity to hone my skill sets that produced results in my professional career. The interactions and dialogue with fellow students provided a forum to grow personally. I was able to take their learnings and experiences and advance myself forward.”

“I first learned about CEL through Rutherford Cable. I knew I was interested in pursuing personal growth options and this was enticing. In my mind I was feeling a little unsettled about it until I received encouragement through another fellow Cable member. We spurred each other on to do it and we did.

I was thrilled with the class, the content, the professors that shared their wisdom with us and the layout of the course. It was very much attainable even while working a full time job. I feel that this CEL course helped me to see myself as more worthy of being a woman in business and that I do have much to offer.

My life has been enriched with new friendships as well. I am grateful that I took the leap and participated.”

"My take away that I remember were that CEL Class 1 was correspondent to many of the classes I had already received at Nissan. CEL 2 was most valuable to me because it reached out beyond leadership curriculum by introducing more of an Integrated approach in leadership. We were able to interact as a group and produce scenarios from different backgrounds that made us stronger in our current roles. This advanced leadership was very valuable to me. "

"The program provided me with a different lens from which to view challenges and opportunities in the corporate world. I have been able to use the tools from the class as I have taken on new projects."

"The session on Design Thinking and creative problem solving resonated most with me. As the Development Director for the Jones College of Business at MTSU it is my role to connect the impact of the Jones College with the passions of donors. I learned how to ask better questions to understand the issues from a donor’s point of view, to attract attention to those important issues, to generate a compelling solution, and to present an irresistible case for taking action through financial support. "

“Since I work for a large corporation, I get professional development training all the time. So, I went into the CEL class thinking I was not going to learn much if anything new. I was completely wrong. I gained a wealth of additional knowledge in leadership, ethics, communications and much more. It was well worth the time and financial investment.”
