Leadership Communications is an area where we, as women, have long underestimated our own potential.  The Leaders Voice Workshop reinforces our inherent communication and leadership strengths through personal coaching and interactive learning opportunities.  This is a ‘not-to-miss’ experience for WorldWIT members trying to ‘connect’ with their employees and co-workers, those that are looking to achieve work/life balance, and even those women searching for the skills to succeed in an otherwise ‘man’s world.’  
 
Join us for Women & The Leader's Voice—a two-day leadership communication workshop on April 13-14 in Chicago. Brought to you by WorldWIT and Tom Peters Company, this unique learning program includes personal coaching, group interaction, and hands-on activities.
