It Pays to Ask: Negotiating for Leadership Success
April 27-28, 2009
Women who negotiate effectively report that they gain more leadership opportunities, better performance reviews and more satisfaction with their jobs. Although we associate negotiations with formal agreements and contracts, the most important negotiations occur in the everyday work we do in our organizations. Women are constantly negotiating on the job—for a coveted assignment, more time or more money. How we fare depends on whether we take advantage of the opportunities to negotiate. Join Dr. Deborah Kolb for this career–changing workshop where you will gain the skills and confidence to negotiate what you need to succeed in your work.
Creating a Powerful Personal Brand
May 19, 2009
Every leader has a brand—an operative reputation at work. Some women know how to make their contributions visible. For others, this talent is elusive. This dynamic workshop provides you with the framework and tools you need to create a truly powerful personal brand—one that drives performance and career success. You will come away with a much clearer understanding of how closely your intentions match the perceptions (realities) of your stakeholders and what you can do to more closely align the two. You will also explore key developmental issues and strategies and how to address them as a woman leader.
Leading Organizational Change
June 16-17, 2009
Change is constant in organizations today, but managing it well can be challenging. Change initiatives take many forms and may be the result of internal forces, such as a change to an organization’s mission or operational structure or external forces, such as a change in the industry or economy. Your capacity to successfully manage change depends on your ability to identify and navigate the complex interpersonal and strategic issues involved. Led by Dr. Cynthia Ingols, Leading Organizational Change will provide you with unique perspectives, practical approaches and a clear framework that you can immediately apply to your own situation to ensure you become a more effective change agent in your organization.
