Women, Ambition, & Leadership™

Many women have a different relationship to ambition than do men. This is a critical issue in understanding and supporting women in leadership and in business, particularly since cultural norms still show evidence of subtle discrimination against women who pursue their ambitions as actively as do men.

In this presentation, you'll come away with an understanding of what the research reveals about women and why they are willing to walk away from their dreams. You will learn what the critical success factors are for sustaining ambition, and how to implement them.

This will be a unique opportunity to talk about an issue that we as women often struggle with and one that has generally not been acknowledged!

This session is highly interactive and participatory using accelerated learning techniques.
