Strategic Leadership for female top managers

Next date:
January 28th, 2026

For whom:
Women executives and business owners

Duration of the program:
9 months

Number of participants:
18

The only strategic leadership program in the Czech Republic tailored for women in executive roles.

This program develops strategic leadership — a core capability that distinguishes top executives from those who remain in middle management. You'll learn to think and act strategically, lead with confidence in uncertainty, and drive your company forward in times of change.

Gain the capabilities that keep you at the top

Top leaders don’t just shape tomorrow — they define the future.

In this program, you will master skills that shift how others see you: from an outstanding performer to a leader who defines strategy, shapes culture, and sets the pace for change.

Strategic leadership is more than a skill. It’s the difference between being in leadership — and actually leading.

Join a community of senior female leaders who share openly, support each other, and grow together. In a safe space where strength and empathy go hand in hand.

You will build 12 essential strategic leadership skills

Program participant references

"I wanted to move on in my professional and maybe even personal life. It gave me a lot of things, strangely enough, unexpected things. It's given me the courage to try things, to go into something I'm not quite sure about, to believe in myself that I can do it, and it's opened up a lot of opportunities. Strangely enough, it also helped me expand my network of friends, my work network, and this network has helped me in dealing with personal things, problems, as well as work things."

Olga Řehořková
Director, PwC

“I had two reasons for joining ATAIRU programs. The first is the personality of Radka Dohnal and our personal meeting, during which she told me about ATAIRU. As a CFO, once I had studied and analyzed everything, I knew I couldn't miss the ATAIRU course. The second reason was the wonderful company of women in leadership positions who inspired me and made me understand that we all face similar challenges, even though we work in different companies. After the course I started to notice much more the strengths of the people in my team. Now we all do things with much more ease and enthusiasm. And I personally have organised my diary in a completely different way. So that I can focus not only on my work, but also on my family and our little son. That was the biggest benefit of the course for me.“

Financial Director & Vice-Chairman of the Board, Uniqa

“I have attended so many training sessions and turned down so many invitations. But with ATAIRU it was different. First you look deep inside yourself and then you can look outside. You answer questions about how to do your work most naturally, when you bring the most value - it's priceless. All in a very tangible, pragmatic way.
Then you'll get a glimpse into the areas we tend to overlook or sometimes avoid. But that's the only way we make progress.
In the end, you'll meet some great people along the way. The ATAIRU team and the other ladies in the program - it was great to meet such people. Across the board, the group was naturally diverse - it was very cohesive in a sense, and we were able to get a lot of inspiration and have a lot of fun. I believe my experience on the ATAIRU program has had an impact on the amazing employee satisfaction results - an index of 100% of people, a jump from 70% on my team.“

FAQs

How time consuming is the program?

We always plan one interaction per month. If there are individual sessions in a given month, no further workshops are scheduled. Workshops do not take place during the summer and Christmas holidays.

Can the cost be split into several installments?

Of course. Let us know which payment option you require, and we will meet your needs.

What if I don't like the program?

This hasn't arisen yet, but we understand that you may not be absolutely sure at the start. We handle all comments and requests individually and we will always find a form of compensation that will suit you.

How are you protecting and proceeding during covid-19?

We comply with government regulations and are as flexible as possible in any situation. At the same time, we have verified that the individual workshops can also be successfully held online. We will inform you about any changes in good time.

ATAIRU Leadership programs for individuals are only in Czech

But even if you can not speak Czech let us know, and we will try to find the solution that suits you (e. g. individual meetings with our lectors etc.).
