Description

Women have unique strengths and difficult challenges as females in management, and we live in a time with unprecedented focus on women in leadership. There has never been a time when so many companies and governments are working to help women advance. According to McKinsey, 75% of companies have at least adopted principles of gender equality, while almost 30 percent are actually implementing programs to make sure women advance.  The EU passed legislation requiring all corporate boards to have at least 40% females. However, we are far from our goals. Even though countless studies show woman are stronger in emotional intelligence, relationship-building, time management, and more, there are still only 2.6% female CEO's worldwide. And that's with evidence that more women in management yields higher profits for companies. This course twill teach you how to identify your strengths as a leader, address your killer constraints and not self-sabotage, communicate and listen more effectively, know how to handle difficult conversations, understand the female ambition penalty and likability paradox, manage your boss, develop a cohesive and productive work team, increase your confidence and likability, think more strategically, deal with sexual harassment and micro-aggressions, achieve work-life balance, explore career strategies, and network your way to success.Dr. Dorothy Marcic is a professor at Columbia University in New York City and has been writing about and teaching seminars on Women in Management for decades.
