Details

A leadership development program uniquely designed for women in higher education, the Women in Higher Education Leadership Summit's (WHELS) purpose is twofold: 1) to provide higher education leaders with the tools and education to meet the challenges that they face in their workplace, 2) to address the issues specific to women and leadership and develop women's individual leadership capacity.

Women in higher education face an array of challenges given the recent economic downturn—including maintaining high-level programs in the wake of continued budget cuts, motivating and connecting with today's generation of students, balancing the demands of work life and home life, and finding time for continued personal and professional development.

Address these issues and raise your leadership capacity in this four-day, intensive leadership summit. WHELS is not about giving answers to leaders. It’s about developing people’s capacities to respond to current higher education-related challenges. We help leaders to better understand their values and their personal tendencies when relating to others. The Summit consist of a variety of activities—including value card exercises, paper/pencil self assessments, ethical dilemmas, drawing activities, acting workshops and motivational speakers. All participants complete a Leadership Circle® 360 survey and the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, and receive personal coaching based on survey results. Through this approach, WHELS helps leaders to formulate their own visions for change and to implement solutions appropriately.
