SENIOR WOMEN LEADERS
Senior Women Leaders have few to no options for thoughtful leadership development, and yet the leadership gender gap persists. For those women transitioning to senior positions, internal work on story and purpose as well as targeted skills work in building and leading teams, communication and mindset and risk taking are critical to their potential success.
If you organization would like to sponsor senior women for leadership development, The Grit Institute is ready to help.

Meet Shannon.
Hi, I’m Shannon Huffman Polson, author of The Grit Factor: Courage, Resilience and Leadership in the Most Male Dominated Origination in the World. I wore the Army uniform for a decade as one of the first women to fly the Apache helicopter in the U.S. Army, leading line units on three continents, before transitioning through my MBA at the Tuck School at Dartmouth and leading outstanding teams in the corporate world as well in the medical device industry and at Microsoft.
My first book, North of Hope: A Daughter’s Arctic Journey takes you through a very personal journey of grit and resilience. In The Grit Factor, I gather input from not only my own story, but the stories, lessons and tactical applications of dozens of other leaders in their fields. This is what I offer to clients through world class keynotes and executive education in grit and resilience, purpose and storytelling.
