Upward early career:although there are more college-educated women entering the workforce than men, only 40% will make it to middle management. And middle management is where most of them will stay, since only 14% will advance to senior leadership. Women in early and mid-career are critical to filling the leadership pipeline, but many women at this stage are feeling overworked or overlooked, or both. Does this sound like you? We understand. We've been there. For over 20 years, Momentum has delivered transformational change for women. We guide you through a process of self-discovery, vision casting, action planning and access to a vast network of women leaders. A survey of our last upward class showed that 40% of participants experienced a promotion or upward mobility while they were still in the Program. Many will use the training they received to set an intentional career path, defend their value, set clear boundaries, and build strong relationships. The upward Program year runs from february to october and is comprised of two cohorts of approximately 30 women each: one for early career (3-5 years of experience, usually at the individual contributor level) and one for mid-career (6-15 years of experience, usually at the first-time manager level.) Each class session is half-day, one cohort in the morning and the second cohort in the afternoon. Sessions are hosted by Momentum's partners in the birmingham metro-area.

Executive Program birmingham:for more than 20 years, Momentum has delivered training, resources, and a network for birmingham's high-level leaders to achieve their goals. More than 550 women have traveled the path of self-discovery, vision casting, action planning and community connection to become the best version of themselves. We know the demands on women leaders are many. Everyone wants your time, talent, and attention, at work and at home, yet you are often unappreciated and under-valued. At the start of our Program, it's common to hear women say they are tapped-out, overwhelmed, and frustrated at work and at home. Momentum's process for advancing women leaders is truly transformative. By nurturing both personal and professional growth, honing business skills, and building lifelong relationships, participants become equipped, confident, and inspired to reach new goals.
