Women's personality-based risks can derail senior leadership aspirations.
Women's personality-based risks can derail senior leadership aspirations.

Tulsa, Oklahoma (PRWEB) June 25, 2014 -- CDR Assessment Group, Inc. and The Alexcel Group have announced a series of Women’s Leadership Retreats to offer a novel solution designed to help women get past the obstacles to success. They personalize development to hone in on what each woman leader needs most to maximize her potential, while neutralizing risks that could otherwise undermine her success.

Our research shows that inherent risk factors that impede women leaders are different from those impacting men. Under pressure, women tend to retreat, worry, and over-analyze; men don’t.

"The facts are clear that women’s rise to senior executive positions has barely increased over the past decade, so our plan to help women expedite and sustain their success,” says Nancy Parsons, President of Tulsa-based CDR Assessment Group and Alexcel Group member. She adds, “you might be wondering—why a ‘women’s only’ retreat? The reason is that while women and men both have the capability of being highly effective leaders and executives, women often have a different set of inherent risks and challenges than their male counterparts. This Retreat gives women participants the opportunity to focus on their unique strengths and risks.”

According to Patricia Wheeler, Ph.D., a principal at Atlanta-based consultancy, The Levin Group, and Alexcel Group member, “this learning experience is to refresh, renew, and enhance a women’s leadership capability, performance, and satisfaction level.”

Wheeler explains, “this Women’s Leadership Retreat is not a generic or superficial leadership event. It is for women leaders who are ready to accelerate their success by focusing on their authentic leadership strengths, emotional intelligence, personal motivators, and risk factors. The learning process begins before the event with an assessment and a one-on-one 2.5 hour executive coaching session, followed by the 2-Day Retreat, with an additional coaching session after the workshop. So, in all, each women leader has 4 hours of coaching plus attends the customized Retreat.”

Our research shows that inherent risk factors that often impede women leaders are different from risk factors that impact men leaders. Under pressure, women tend to retreat, worry, and over-analyze; men don’t. Men become emboldened, fight harder, and use aggressive behaviors which, albeit may be inappropriate or even hostile, they are viewed as more leader-like and courageous. These behaviors and the impact of the perceptions are not easy to overcome. This Retreat helps women leaders focus directly on developing their own “leadership DNA,” and develop strategies to assure that these risk traits do not unhinge or derail success while building on strengths.

“By design, this Women’s Leadership Retreat provides women leaders with the dedicated time, essential insights, learning experiences, and executive coaching support needed to lift leadership success and fulfillment to levels currently not within reach. It is about creating opportunity for networking and building a supportive community for growth and sustainability,” adds San Francisco-based Barbara Mintzer McMahon, founder of The Center for Transitional Management and head of Women in Leadership for the Alexcel Group. Wheeler, Parsons, and Mintzer-McMahon are the lead instructors and executive coaches for the Retreats.

Retreats are scheduled for August 20 - 21, 2014 near Tulsa, OK; October 29 - 30 in Atlanta, GA; and November 5 - 6 in San Francisco, CA. Keep in mind that assessment and the 2.5 hour coaching session are the pre-work for these sessions.

A full brochure can be found at http://www.cdrassessmentgroup.com, and please complete the online registration form. The August 20 - 21, 2014 workshop is scheduled for The Canebrake, an ideal setting and eco-friendly spa resort location near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Group discounts are available, and in-house sessions are available for larger organizations. Don't delay in registration because the assessment and coaching process begins right away.
