LEADERSHIP

LEADForward Roundtables are transformative, year-round, peer support groups led by Accendo coaches, who are accomplished C-suite female leaders and certified executive coaches.

Each cohort includes up to 13 women who meet nine times over the course of the year for half-day, themed sessions. The hybrid model includes 5 in-person and 4 virtual sessions. Participants also receive 2 individual coaching video call sessions.

All in person sessions will take place at St. Petersburg College, Clearwater Campus, located at 2465 Drew St, Clearwater, FL 33765.
