LEAP is a high-impact development program for Irish and Irish-American women who will gain access to the tools, insights, mentors, and role models necessary to achieve their goals and accelerate their careers.

LEAP aims to increase participants’ self-awareness through behavioral profile evaluation. Pre-program personal leadership assessment will help participants identify their personal leadership style and abilities; and the areas they would like to develop or build on during the program. LEAP will schedule Speed Mentoring sessions throughout the program.

Participants will meet with a limited number of mentors in 10-minute time slots to garner some advice on a pre-selected topic.
