FREE TO LEAD
You Can Be the Balance That Creates Better Leadership
Ideal Audience: Corporate or government teams, leadership forums, and women’s groups
Value: Learn the origins and impacts of resistance to women’s leadership, what organizations can do to overcome it, and how talented women can transform their careers and make the impact they’re capable of.
We need strong, courageous women to step up, not give up—if we’re going to solve our toughest problems. But policies aren’t the answer to the declining numbers we see among high potentials.
This conversation about women leaders expands to the experiences all audience members have had when they weren’t heard or seen for their performance, ideas, or potential. Everyone leaves with a renewed desire to listen better, see the talent around them, manage their egos and insecurities, and to speak up skillfully when their voices are needed.
Takeaways: In this program, your audience will learn…
- How our beliefs about women in leadership are formed
- Why all genders tend to resist strong women in the workplace
- What maternal triangulation and paternal approval seeking look like at work
- Dalisia’s path from frustrated change agent to influential leader
- How helping strong women overcome the Hero-to-Villain cycle helps everyone
