About the Program

WISE understands that in this challenging global market, leaders must distinguish themselves and enhance their personal development skills to create a bigger, more meaningful impact within their organization.

With that in mind, we've created a program offering that goes beyond typical leadership training, one specifically designed for women working across the sports landscape that includes facilitated coaching and a certificate program from Wharton.

This unique offering is a once-in-a-career type of opportunity — a combination designed to help you become one of the best leaders in the business of sports.


WISE Coaching Circles offers a supportive and collaborative environment where individuals can gain valuable insights, develop new skills and build relationships with like-minded professionals within the sports business.

  • Sessions are conducted by tenured International Coaching Federation (ICF) coaches who are experts in helping participants develop personalized strategies, communication skills and action plans tailored to their unique needs and goals.
  • You will be thoughtfully placed in a group of 8 to 10, based on your alignment and leadership assessment surveys.
  • Circles meet once a month over the course of eight months to discuss a broad range of personal and professional topics. Each session is 90 minutes. Confidentiality is expected.

Wharton Executive Presence and Influence certificate program is a six-module, self-paced course covering everything from executive presence to persuasive leadership and more — and earns you a Wharton Online digital badge.

The development of executive presence is a long-term commitment, but the mindset and habits integral to this critical trait can start today. You will receive practical advice to craft your identity as a leader through six modules:

  1. Introduction and Informal Influence — Identify the factors that influence the achievement of meaningful impact.
  2. Leading with Persuasive Communication — Use presence and poise to amplify your narrative.
  3. Leadership Narrative — Strengthen your leadership presence.
  4. Cultivating Informal Networks — Adopt strategies to cultivate valuable relationships and leverage networks effectively.
  5. A Framework for Persuasion — Recognize the underpinnings of successful persuasion, why they work, and how you can leverage these techniques in your communications.
  6. Persuasively Communicating Your Vision and Strategy — Look at the big picture through nontraditional means to communicate your vision and strategy.

The program is designed to be highly interactive while also allowing time for self-reflection and to demonstrate an understanding of the core topics through various active learning exercises, such as moderated discussion groups with your WISE peers and attending office hours.
