104 Milestone planning and leadership skills in professional women following participation in Capita3 Leader Launch program.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study is to demonstrate growth in leadership skills in areas of milestone selection, conditions of success, and self-efficacy for females in the Capita3 Leader Launch (LL) Program. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Forty females were self-selected to participate in the LL Program, a 21 day program which is organized around a highly significant career goal that each participant selects. The program is designed to guide participants through a unique and transformative process to increase the probability that each participant will achieve their selected career goal. In the fall of 2022, seventy people participated in the LL program. Participants were asked to fill out a Leadership assessment prior to participation and then again following participation in the program. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Immediately after the program, participants self-report 86% increased confidence, 85% being on track to achieving their selected milestone or an appropriate pivot, and 80% feel more equipped to navigate their external environment. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates that the LL Program addresses barriers that are neither fully understood nor addressed by existing programs and policies for women. Future programs can use the LL Program to help females take on high visibility assignments, larger organizational roles, and leadership positions within the current organization environment.
