The ATHENA® Leadership Award is presented to a woman, or man, who is honored for professional excellence, community service, and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills. The ATHENA Young Professionals award recognizes an emerging leader who gives back to the community and serves as a role model for young women. Last year’s ATHENA and ATHENA Young Professionals award recipients were Sharon Raggio and Claire Noone, respectively.
About the ATHENA® Award
Inspired by the goddess of Greek mythology known for her strength, courage, wisdom and enlightenment - these qualities are embodied in the ATHENA Leadership Model. The Award is unique in both scope---local, national and international---and the ATHENA mission upon which it is based.
The ATHENA® Leadership & ATHENA YP Awards are presented to a woman ---or man--- who is honored for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills.
Keynote Speaker
Nancy Fredericks is a preeminent Business Executive Strategist, Author and Thought Leader. Corporations like Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo, Allergan and Transamerica have retained her to optimize individual and organizational performance.
As a gifted coach, she partners with executives to produce sustainable, powerful results. Her approach identifies hidden problems that keep executives from mastering the gap between the results they are currently producing and the results they are capable of and want to produce in expanding their leadership range. She brings more to a coaching relationship than simply business savvy—she is an innovative collaborator.
Nancy is a pioneer in the field of gender diverse leadership an expertise she brings to all of her training programs. She co-authored Dancing on the Glass Ceiling, Tap into Your True Strengths, Activate Your Vision, and Get What You Really Want Out of Your Career (Published by McGraw-Hill).
In addition, NFI produces the highly successful gender diverse proprietary programs: Leadership for Men Only and Leadership for Women Only. These professional programs address barriers that handicap effectiveness, success and advancement for both genders; and advocates practical tips for overcoming them.
