||
|
Speaker: |
||
|
Making change happen can be done from any position in an organization. Many highly successful women can easily identify what changes need to happen, but find it difficult to lead others to confront the challenges facing their group. This workshop will increase the capabilities of powerful women to effect organizational change. Participants will learn to differentiate types of challenges, understand how roles determine strategies, and identify the pressures behind the resistance to change. Using a case from the group, participants will explore a method to clarify the larger purpose while identifying the trap of "quick fixes". Participants will leave with new strategies for sucessfully leading change in their institution or organization. |

|
1:00 - 2:00—Session 4: Does it Take a Superwoman? |
||
|
Do you have to be a superwoman to succeed? Is it possible to have a successful career, a family, and a life all at the same time? We will hear from a speaker who is managing to juggle all and who will provide insight into how to appear to be a superwoman without actually having to be one. Speaker: Format: The speaker will present her views (30 minutes) and then an open discussion will follow (30 minutes). |
||
|
2:00 - 3:00—Session 5: Time Management |
||
|
Do you never seem to have enough time to get everything done? Is it a matter of time management or learning to say no? We will hear from a speaker who is obsessively organized in a way that helps her manage her time (but who still hasn't managed to learn how to say no).
