Leadership Skills for Women

Be A Highly Successful Woman Professionally And Personally

Success for women looks different for each person. The key is to find out who you really are. What are your strengths? What is your person vision?  Then, use that information to create the life you want to lead.  Success is more than financial, more than material. Success takes in our whole life, and is measured by the degree to which we feel empowered to lead the life we want to lead.

Successful women know the power of support and collaboration

Common Boundaries Consulting & Communications has a mission of helping women become successful leaders in both their professional and personal lives.  Through workshops, training, speeches and educational products, our company offers practical and powerful experiences for each woman to be more authentically who they are. Our training is based on extensive research yet begins with the premise that at the core, each woman already knows what she needs to know; she needs to believe it.

According to the latest research conducted by the Center For Creative Leadership on Standing at the Crossroads: Next steps for High-Achieving Women (Marian Ruderman, and Patricia Ahlott), highly successful women excel in 5 key areas: Acting Authentically, Being an agent in their own destiny, Ability to make connections, Self-Awareness, and a holistic view of the world around us.  Other books that deal with successful women include Hard Won Wisdom by Fawn Germer and The Seven Aspects of Sisterhood:  Empowering Women Through Self-Discovery by Debra J. Gawrych.  Our company believes in similar principles that in order for a woman to feel successful she needs to be empowered in these key areas of her life:

Common Boundaries offers a women’s weekend program and selected workshops/programs that relate to being a highly successful woman.  We, as women, are constantly trying to find a balance; and to identify and integrate priorities. Our mission is to help you uncover your own source of power and find out the answers for yourselves. You can do this through our programs which revolve around the key areas listed below. All elements are included in our women’s weekend programs.

Self-Awareness

Through personality assessments, communication and role-playing, our programs teach you to find your real self – develop a sense of wholeness.  This wholeness will then become an integral part of everything you do, from work to home. Self-Awareness programs include:

• Seven Aspects Personality Model
• Learn How to Communicate More Effectively … With Everyone
• Work/Life Balance

Authenticity

Being authentic means to be true to one’s own personality, spirit or character.    It deals with having courage to be who you are in the moment—show to the external world your level of self-awareness.  Programs offered by Common Boundaries include:

• Courageous Women: Courageous Choices

Actively Creative

Highly successful women are proactive instead of reactive.  Common Boundaries programs that deal with this topic include:

• Wise Women Using Keys to Unlock the Doors of Wisdom
• Be Strategic – Work Smarter, not Harder
• Women Visions:  Coaching and Mentoring
• Women’s Peak Expedition
• Take Charge by Taking Risks

Integrity

Integrity and ethical behavior are often viewed as one.  They are not.  Integrity means being in line with yourself – being balanced and living your life from a sense of balance.  Common Boundaries programs that deal with integrity include:

• Leadership Skills for Women:  A Personal Perspective
• How to Confront Someone Respectfully

Making Connections

Building productive relationships is a key to feeling good about ourselves. Relationships go both ways: we teach and learn, learn and teach. Making connections is about networking, building support groups, coaching and mentoring, and paying forward to others the knowledge that they, too can be successful.

Networking can be fun, but is most meaningful when it is mutually beneficial.  It works best when you are authentic and not only interested in what is in it for you, but also what you can offer someone else. Another element of making connections is coaching and mentoring others. This can be done in both your professional and personal life. The value of coaching goes both ways. The coach is not only giving, but also receiving and in turn facilitates with the person she is mentoring the experience of powerful relationship—that of actively listening and following those you wish to lead.
