In this women's leadership program, you will join an exceptional group of females in the radio industry to take your management and leadership skills to the next level. As you explore emerging research and best practices, share experiences and insights, and try out new ideas in a supportive environment, you'll prepare to contribute more fully to your organization's ongoing success.
This program will help you lead with lasting impact and build strategic advantages for your company. You will emerge reenergized about your career and empowered with a realistic agenda for change in your company - and in your own approach to leadership.
Learning alongside other emerging female leaders from around the country, you will engage in a rich learning experience that includes presentations from top level executives in the industry, small-group exercises, self-assessments, and personal coaching. The program features sessions on leadership, gender in the workplace, and emerging best practices that are helping today's most successful companies outperform the competition. As you learn how other successful women and men have overcome challenges in their industries, their companies, and their personal interactions, you will expand your repertoire of leadership strategies.
You will develop your own RTTR "board of directors" -- a new network of like-minded females that will help you apply your learning and continue developing as a leader long after the program.
"Rising Through the Ranks has opened my eyes to how many women in radio are in your corner -- fighting for you to achieve anything you set your sights on. I learned to not hold myself back by putting up my own 'I can't...' roadblocks, but to instead lean in and give it my all. I now have a #GirlTribe standing behind me, lifting me up and cheering me on."
"It's always empowering to be with a group of intelligent, hard working women who aspire to become leaders and difference makers in this industry. We are in a class among ourselves where we 'get' each other without having to explain. It's a group of women who lift each other up wishing for success, not just for ourselves but for all of our sisters."
"Attending Rising Through the Ranks was one of the most rewarding and educational experiences I have had in my radio career thus far! Listening to other women leaders in the radio industry share their ideas, passions, ambitions, and concerns was inspiring and encouraging. RTTR reminded me of how proud I am to be in the radio business and of how proud I am to be a woman."
"I have zero doubt that Rising Through the Ranks will not only change my career -- but it will change my LIFE. To be surrounded by so much enthusiasm for our industry, along with the support and tools to go forward and make it better every day is a true gift. These women in the RTTR Class of 2018 and our mentors are incredible examples of intelligence, strength, and passion. I am proud to be part of this new tribe and I cannot wait to celebrate all of their successes. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this transformative, uplifting program!"
"Rising Through the Ranks was a wonderful experience that not only introduced me to a new tribe of inspiring women I connect with professionally and personally, but provided me with a renewed feeling of empowerment to take with me as I continue to build relationships within my organization and strengthen my personal brand."
"RTTR was such an amazing experience for me. I am somewhat new to the radio industry, so being able to witness all of these powerful women in radio was such a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed hearing all of the different perspectives as it is easy to get 'tunnel vision' in your own market. I am so honored to be a member of the RTTR Class of 2018!"
My RTTR experience was life changing as the standard of excellence in broadcast media leadership was displayed over and over with those who spoke and those in attendance. I am proud to be part of such an amazing group of women and hope to share the wisdom that I gained with my team and with as many people as possible. Thank you, RAB for providing this incredible resource for us.
Rising through the ranks was just wanted I needed at just the right time in my career! Networking with radio executives and other women from all over the US in the industry who all share the same vision, goals and aspirations was so inspiring and empowering and has given me even more drive to continue making a positive impact as a new leader in radio. This program is a must for any woman who always strives to learn and recruit the next up and coming leaders to continue to keep radio be the best medium in the world!
I feel like it is one of those things that you have to experience "to know." You have to experience to believe. In some ways, you can't really put the experience into words. The feeling. The energy. The comradery. What we do is so unique, it creates an immediate bond with this group of women, some of who you feel like you've been friends with forever. Rising Through the Ranks was the perfect blend of personal, meaningful and industry anecdotes with useful trainings and information. I'm someone who is always eyes ahead wanting the next challenge and I feel more inspired than ever to tackle those. I've also never been prouder to do what I do.
Rising Through the Ranks was an indescribable experience. The opportunity to network with peers who can truly relate to each is amazing. Pair that with impressive mentors and trailblazers in the industry who are there to teach and share, and it's truly magical. I'm grateful for the chance to be a part of this group and cannot wait to continue this journey.
RTTR was an incredible experience for me. I met some amazing people and left feeling inspired and excited. I will use the knowledge that I gained through Rising Through the Ranks for years to come.
Rising Through the Ranks was a first-class experience! All the session topics were timely and relevant, and the information was presented by incredibly inspirational and influential presenters. From a participant perspective, the collaboration between BMI, the RAB and MIW, truly hit the mark of empowering, leading and connecting up-and-coming executives in the radio industry. The positive energy and camaraderie are something that will stay with me for a long time to come.
Rising Through the Ranks gives you the opportunity to interact with leaders in our industry, to learn from their path to success, and which skills are necessary to succeed in this field. I came out inspired, motivated and ready to take on the next stage of my career!
My experience at RTTR was incredible. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the energy, excitement, and encouragement was so strong that I came out of the two days feeling empowered. Hearing from the leaders in our industry in such a small environment gave me a vision not just for the future of radio, but for my own future. Everyone had a different story and unique perspective to share. I made some great connections with the other ladies in my class. I know they will be the ones I can lean on throughout my career. This is a phenomenal program and I am truly honored to be part of it.
What an incredible experience! Every speaker was excellent and relevant. There was so much great information. It was very motivational! I wish I could come every year!
Rising Through the Ranks was a complete career changer for me. The inspiration and motivation that the experience gave me is something I wish I could bottle and sell! The relationships and connections that bloomed in 3 days were incredible! From the speakers including top CEO's and Executives and of course, our peers... the connection built with these people gives me goosebumps! I could not WAIT to get back to work to put into action and share all of the knowledge gained from this experience. It was really hard to summarize and put into words how special Rising Through the Ranks was for me. If you are lucky enough to earn the scholarship, take it and soak in every second because you will never want it to end! Wish I could go back for round 2!
Rising Through the Ranks was truly a life changing experience...I know that sounds dramatic, but as a manager, it is so rare that we have a chance to talk to other people who are in similar situations, take time to reflect on what we are doing, how we are acting (or reacting) and how all of this effects the people in our organizations, and to go outside of our comfort zones and learn. I will be a better manager, a better employee and hopefully a better person because of the time that I spent at Rising Through the Ranks.
Rising Through the ranks was truly a game changer for me as I continue to navigate my career in leadership. To be surrounded by so many smart, talented, and above all, inspiring women (and even a few men) was an incredible honor, and to walk away with such a strong support group allows for continued, long term mentorship.
