    Summary

    When a woman exhibits the same qualities a man would be hailed for, she is labeled with words we won’t print on this page.


    "It creates a nearly impossible double standard: lead, but don't lead too hard," says Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.


    So- how do you overcome gender bias to lead assertively without being called aggressive or abrasive? And how can you hone and leverage emotional intelligence to effectively lead diverse groups?



    Join us for a fast paced, information rich webinar that takes an innovative approach to how women can leverage their natural strengths, rise to the top, and be more effective outstanding leaders.


    Some pain-points we’ll address include:

    • How to lead without fear of backlash or retaliation
    • Making your voice heard strategically
    • Addressing bias in the workplace head-on
    • How to navigate conflict without being insensitive (or too timid)
