Women in Leadership: Empowered Leadership Development
Description:
Women in the workforce face unique systemic and interpersonal challenges throughout their careers. Drawing from her presentations at Women’s Forums across Texas and at SXSW, instructor Amira Pollock has designed this course to support and empower women at any point in their career.
In this highly interactive course, participants will gain tools, tips and practical experience to elevate their status in the workplace, speak with influence and rise above gender communication challenges. Participants will learn the strategy for lifting others up that was successfully used by female staff in the Obama White House and we will explore how gender roles, as well as our own behaviors and thinking, can impede our career advancement and satisfaction.
