Here's a summary of the presentations:
Overcoming the Double Bind So much leadership advice sounds good, but doesn't always translate into strategies that actually pay off for women. You may be familiar with the situation where women are advised to speak up more and be firm and decisive leaders, but then are criticized for being too aggressive when they do. This is just one of many challenges that stem from what our first speaker, Dana Theus, calls the "double bind," where women trying to fit into a male leadership mold feel inauthentic, and thus less effective in their efforts to advance and create positive impact. Theus will give us tools on how to overcome the dreaded double bind.
Self-Care Makes Us Better Leaders: Then, Nancy Board from the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) will talk to us about caring for ourselves first and how that will make us better authentic leaders! She will also share what the EAP offers to and how we can use it to self-care.
