She received her Ph.D. from MIT’s Sloan School of Management and is a national leader in the field of gender dynamics and women and leadership.
In her latest book, Her Place at the Table: A Woman’s Guide to Negotiating - Five Key Challenges to Leadership Success, Dr. Kolb offers a practical guide for women navigating their way to the top rungs of their organizations. Drawing on extensive interviews with women leaders, the book provides tips on avoiding common traps and outlines strategic moves to position you for success.
Dr. Kolb is teaching It Pays to Ask: Negotiating for Leadership Success on March 18-19, 2008 at Simmons School of Management. It Pays to Ask is a powerful workshop that provides women with the expertise to negotiate with confidence, for their own success and that of their organization. Kolb’s research has found that women who negotiate effectively report that they gain more leadership opportunities, better performance reviews and more satisfaction at work. This workshop is a must for professional women.
