Session: Women Are Creating the Glass Ceiling & Have the Power to End It
Despite healthy investments and the best intentions to end the glass ceiling for women, it is not working, and we are going in the wrong direction! If we stay on the current trajectory, it will take about 400 years for women to attain just 50% of the CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies. In this presentation, Nancy shares stunning personality research that sheds new light on why the glass ceiling really exists and new solutions to end this blockage in a decade. Nancy will also dispel harmful myths and explain how the blame game, finger pointing, and women holding onto the victim mentality, are not productive. Nancy’s presentation will show women that they have the power to end the glass ceiling while simultaneously improving performance and building win-win relationships with male counterparts and executives.Key Takeaways
- 1. Attendees will understand how they unknowingly take themselves out of the running for higher level positions due to their personality-based risks.
- 2. Create action-based development plans that help individuals manage their personality-based risks, allowing them to gain visibility at work.
- 3. Refocus the approach to developing women as leaders who are, to a large extent, a hidden resource just waiting for the right type of development.
