The magazine brings together executives, HR leaders and learning professionals who are working to advance leadership development and create more inclusive workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>The Women in Leadership Summit has always been about more than just discussion. It is a place where leaders share real experiences, research insights and practical strategies that organizations can use to strengthen leadership pipelines and support the next generation of women leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/web.brandonhall.com\/women-in-leadership-magazine\">magazine<\/a> reflects those conversations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why This Conversation Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Despite progress, organizations still face challenges when it comes to advancing women in leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Our research shows that only 28 percent of organizations report being highly effective at developing women for senior leadership roles and fewer than 14 percent have reached more than 50 percent representation of women in senior leadership positions.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers highlight why continued dialogue, research and leadership development are so important.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the magazine, you will hear from leaders across organizations, including Pfizer, Bank of America, Verizon, Johnson &amp; Johnson and Weatherby Healthcare, sharing their perspectives on topics such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leading through disruption and change<\/li>\n<li>Building workplace cultures rooted in empathy and innovation<\/li>\n<li>The role women must play in shaping the future of AI leadership<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable leadership and avoiding burnout<\/li>\n<li>Practical approaches to inclusive leadership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These stories and insights are designed to help leaders translate ideas into action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Looking Ahead to the 2026 Summit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The conversations that inspired this magazine will continue later this year.<\/p>\n<p>On November 17 and 18, 2026, Brandon Hall Group\u2122 will host an expanded leadership experience at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/web.cvent.com\/event\/91deb7fe-3746-4f5a-b1b5-376aa30d2196\/summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">event<\/a> will introduce a new format designed to deepen leadership conversations.<\/p>\n<p>The program will begin with the Leadership Development Summit on November 17, a full-day event focused on leading through complexity, disruption, and digital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>On November 18, the Women in Leadership Summit will bring together executives for a focused half-day discussion on advancing women at the highest levels of leadership. Topics will include executive presence, sponsorship, influence and navigating the path to the C-suite.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these events create a unique opportunity for leaders to connect research with real-world leadership challenges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Explore the Magazine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are passionate about leadership development, advancing women in leadership or building stronger and more inclusive organizations, we invite you to explore the magazine.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the Women in Leadership Magazine at <a href=\"https:\/\/web.brandonhall.com\/women-in-leadership-magazine\">https:\/\/web.brandonhall.com\/women-in-leadership-magazine<\/a> and learn more about the upcoming summit here: <a href=\"https:\/\/web.cvent.com\/event\/91deb7fe-3746-4f5a-b1b5-376aa30d2196\/summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/web.cvent.com\/event\/91deb7fe-3746-4f5a-b1b5-376aa30d2196\/summary\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We hope the stories and insights in these pages inspire new ideas, meaningful conversations and continued progress in shaping the future of leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Hall Group\u2122 is excited to announce the release of the 2026 Women in Leadership Magazine, Shaping Tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":39686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bric-events"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
