Deadline: 30 November 2017
The Poynter is inviting applications for “2018 Leadership Academy for Women in Digital Media” that is focused on the skills and knowledge needed to rise to the highest levels of digital media leadership.
Now in its fourth year, the Leadership Academy for Women in Digital Media is returning to Poynter’s campus in St. Petersburg, Florida, the week of March 18-23, 2018. Sessions will cover how to develop effective management styles, handle difficult situations, manage burnout, master negotiation tactics and build collaborative teams.
Poynter will select a group of 28 women working in digital media that represent need and diversity across race, geography, technology platforms, organization size and skill sets. Because of the small size of the class, the selection committee will give preference to women leaders currently working in digital media who can demonstrate an aptitude and potential for leadership through current projects and references.
Benefits
- Women working in the digital space with leadership responsibilities or demonstrated leadership potential.
- Tuition for the academy is free, thanks to the generous support of the McClatchy Foundation as well as funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Newmark Philanthropies.
- Participants will walk away with strong leadership skills and a built-in support system of peers.
- All attendees will receive one-on-one coaching during and after the program, and create personal leadership strategies designed to take their careers to the next level.
