What Participants Learn in our Taking the Stage® Program:

Taking the Stage® is a purpose-built space for women to come together and discuss the specific challenges they face while developing their leadership and communication skills. Participants will explore how gender norms have shaped and continue to shape ideas about leadership and communication styles. They’ll think critically about the leadership identity they want to create. They’ll develop a network of support with one another through shared experiences and challenges. And finally, they’ll practice their new skills using a simple, structured method designed to unleash their authentic conviction and presence.  

Taking the Stage®  is designed and led by The Humphrey Group’s roster of inspiring, expert women facilitators. The sharing of experiences and challenges is central to the learning experience. This program is an inclusive learning experience open to all women.

In this Signature Learning Experience, participants receive the knowledge and tools to:  

  • Embrace and communicate a leadership identity. 
  • Identify mindsets and habits that do not serve their goals. 
  • Craft message-driven communication using a logical structure.
