The courses focus on building skills for working in teams, managing conflict, creating alliances and leveraging diversity for good research and development results.  They incorporate a 360 evaluation of each participant’s current management and leadership skills, provide insight into broader gender issues she might encounter in the workplace and provide tools for dealing with them. They are conducted by world-class facilitators from Training Resources Group (TRG).  The venue for these courses rotates around the globe, thus lowering regional travel costs.
