“Look Out! It’s a Trap! The Truth about the Pitfalls and Promise of female leadership”

Even the most well-intentioned, hard-working women out there can still fall prey to the hidden pitfalls that threaten their professional growth, opportunity, and impact as a leader. Equally as dangerous are those traps that are “hiding in plain sight,” but what’s a girl to do? This session is an enlightening and interactive adventure exploring some of our most chronic career-threatening traps and the truth within each. Female leaders, armed with awareness, have great potential to turn these (and other) traps into the promise of progress and impact that they are uniquely capable of making as women.

“Taking Up Space in the World”

In a world that tells us to shrink ourselves, we need to start taking up more space. We need to regain power of the word “sorry” and stop apologizing for our existence. “Sorry” has become a word we say anytime we feel as though we may have caused an inconvenience, we feel guilty or ashamed, we’re nervous, stressed, happy, sad, introverted, extroverted, asking a question, offering an opinion… We’re apologizing for almost everything that we feel or share. We’re apologizing for our existence. We need to start acknowledging how meaningful and powerful we are and take up more space in this world, because our opinions, identities, and womanhood are worthy of more than apology.
