The group as a whole was open, honest, and nonjudgmental, and our small group became very close; I’ve never felt that connected to other women. During the program we identified what our issues were and how we were going to make changes. Now we have a call coming up, and I’m looking forward to hearing how everyone in the group is progressing. They have become part of my professional network and I will rely on them as a source of support in the future. They are as interested in seeing me succeed as I wish for their success.” ANNA SAJAN, Senior Director, Medical Affairs Operations, Research & Development, Endo Pharmaceuticals [Open-Enrollment Programs for Individuals]() Wharton Executive Education programs enhance leadership skills and advance business acumen. - [Comprehensive Executive Programs]() - [Leadership and Management]() - [Finance and Wealth Management]() - [Marketing]() - [Strategy and Innovation]() - [All Programs]() [Download Calendar]() [Download Program Calendar]() Find the program that meets your needs.
