Inside the Fellowship: The Scoop on PwC "Night School"
What does Executive Training look like to you? In the ACNY i’mPART Fellowship, it goes beyond leadership and innovation. For our Fellows, executive training looks like long nights, deep reflection and extensive planning—in short, at the AD Club, its looks like PwC. Every year our partners, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) lends its advisory services to a new class of Fellows, guiding them towards excellence with the program customized for our Fellows, called, “PwC Night School.”
Our first session with PwC focused on success planning. The Fellows took a minute to set both long- and short-term goals – and discussed what support each would need to accomplish them. Afterwards, AD Club member and PwC consultant, Marissa Fang, and Lanita Patton, took the Fellows through creating a success plan for the rest of the year and beyond. They also took the time to talk about mentorship and what it means to have a good mentor, as well as being a good mentee.
The ACNY Fellows were able to go in-depth on the art of negotiations, as well as building confidence in the workplace with special guest, Andea Campbell, Head of Marketing Strategy & Research, Condé Nast , ’16 i’mPART Fellow.
With such a strong kick-off, this year’s PwC classes are slated to be exponentially beneficial to the Fellows once again. The AD Club and PwC will continue to collaborate on these classes of executive training, hoping to inspire the Fellows to seize the greatness that already lives within them.
