Learning Objective: Examine the challenges and strategies of gender barriers

Be strong in the work place? Wait, not too strong? Be assertive? Wait, that’s aggressive? For every piece of advice a woman leader receives, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This seminar brings leaders together to share perceptions, management challenges, and leadership strategies. Leaders speak up and share candid thoughts for getting results and overcoming stereotypes and barriers. If information is power, this seminar is your source.

At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

1. Engage in a candid dialogue regarding the perceived challenges of managing/leading women and being managed/led by women.
2. Discuss techniques that help build professional relationships.
3. Explore the impact of gender and perceptions on pay and promotion.
