Learning outcome: Examine methods for overcoming stereotypes and barriers for women

When you meet someone, what are your initial assumptions? Do these assumptions impact the way you interact with them? Our brains naturally place people into larger groups or categories based on the situation. In business, subtle biases can become major roadblocks to fair and inclusive diversity practices. These perceptions can have a real impact on career trajectory and cause contributions to be ignored and diminished. Join us as we discuss how women can help build and support each other’s rise to the executive level and avoid undercutting each other.

At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

1. Explore actions and attitudes often expressed in the workplace.
2. Identify ways to advocate for women leaders and other under-represented groups to build each other up, not tear each other down.
3. Examine common concerns and challenges for women in the corporate world.
4. Discover methods for building a diverse workplace that helps erase road blocks for women.
5. Describe methods for building support, diversity, and inclusion initiatives.
