The 10 international chapters of Wyndham Worldwide’s Women on Their Way group offer everything from speed-mentoring events and mentoring circles (sometimes with female board members) to seminars on wellness and business issues.

Ambitious women know that professional education is like rocket fuel for an executive career, and this hospitality company offers dozens of ways to obtain it, from leadership courses provided via its Wyndham Worldwide University to tuition assistance (worth up to $6,000 per year) for job-related classes at an external college or university. Savvy employees investigate development initiatives, such as the five-day Leading Your Organization program for vice presidents, which sharpens their skills and helps them make connections companywide; and the six-day Wharton Global Leadership Program, in which top executives are able to discuss and innovate industry best practices.
