Women in Business Breakfast Series Friday, December 2, 2021
In Person-Holiday Session
How and Why Women Hold Themselves Back (and What to Do About It)
Why do women sometimes hold themselves back? The answer is not a simple one. There are various ways (and reasons) that women sometimes limit their own career. We’ll discuss the types of roles women take on, office politics, the language women use that can drain power, and how confidence, assertiveness, and fear can impact behavior for some women. Join the conversation with Dr. Shawn Andrews, speaker, professor, and author of the best-selling book, The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide, to learn how to push past these limiting behaviors and allow yourself to shine.
In this talk you will learn :
-
Explore roles that women take on and how they impact perception
-
Identify language and verbal techniques which drain power
-
Leverage confidence, assertiveness, and fear to your advantage
-
Apply knowledge and strategies to improve career advancement
