CWCC Leadership Development Programs

Are you ready to take the next big step in your leadership journey — or help someone on your team take theirs?

Whether you’re an emerging leader building your foundation or a senior leader eyeing the C-suite, CWCC has a program built for where you are — and where you’re going.

Applications for both programs close September 4th. Keep reading to find the right fit for you (or your team).

Women’s Leadership Lab: For Emerging Leaders

The numbers tell a hard truth: only 29% of CEOs are women, and just 7% are women of color. The path to the top is still steep — and the Women’s Leadership Lab exists to change that, one leader at a time.

This program is built for emerging leaders ready to develop the skills, confidence, and community they need to move into their next leadership role. Participants will:

• Build a powerful network of women leaders across Denver’s business community
• Develop hard skills essential for stepping into leadership roles
• Sharpen communication and management abilities, including a deeper understanding of DEI
• Learn directly from C-suite women leading growing industries
• Gain a holistic view of Colorado’s local workforce and business landscape

If you’re ready to invest in yourself — or you manage a rising star who’s ready for more — this is the program to watch.

This small-group mentoring program pairs senior leaders from CWCC member organizations with male and female mentors who’ve walked the path to the top — and are ready to help others do the same. The experience includes:

• Group mentoring with a cohort of peers navigating similar career transitions
• A facilitated issues lab to work through real leadership challenges
• One-on-one mentoring time with prominent community leaders
• A monthly meeting rhythm — Thursdays, 8:30–11:30 AM, October through June

This is a nine-month investment in becoming the executive leader you’re working toward.
