Leaderful Women: Becoming a Person of Influence
Not Currently Scheduled
Overview
Researchers have found that women tend to have distinct leadership styles. In fact, women in the workforce have unique opportunities and challenges not always shared by their male peers. Funneling natural female strengths into action can create tremendous opportunities for women to be successful in the professional world, and becoming a stronger leader is not necessarily correlated with a certain title or position of authority. While some people may acknowledge gender bias and discrimination exists in the workplace, it is important to recognize when our own assumptions, triggers or other behaviors prohibit effective leadership. In this workshop, we will cover how women can utilize their natural talents to project a more confident and energizing attitude, thus enabling coworkers and peers. Furthermore, we will discuss strategies to aid you in your own professional journey.
Learning Objectives
• Define gender bias and discrimination and utilize the definitions to discuss individual experiences
• Look at national leadership trends and understand the impact on women in business
• Identify internal barriers to personal leadership potential
• Develop personal leadership strategies for professional success
