PowHer Up Leadership Exchange
PowHer Up supports women education leaders' career advancement through cross-sector executive mentorship, neuroscience-informed leadership practice, and regional peer networks within and beyond education.
Despite leading complex organizations, teams, and multimillion-dollar systems, women education leaders remain undervalued and face persistent barriers to advancement within education and into cross-sector executive roles. PowHer Up accelerates career mobility by expanding executive sponsorship, increasing cross-sector visibility, and strengthening leadership influence. Through structured convenings, access to researchers and practitioners, and neuroscience-informed leadership experimentation - where participants test strategies in real, high-stakes contexts - PowHer Up equips women leaders to advance into senior roles, navigate bias, and sustain impact.
