The Smart Woman’s Guide to Confident, Assertive Leadership

Course Description:

Are you too nice, too modest or way too quiet when it comes to saying and getting what you want in the workplace?

You’re not alone.  In fact, a recent survey found that half of women managers admitted to feelings of self-doubt about their performance and career, but only 31 percent of men reported the same.

Condescending colleagues, gender bias, and stereotypes can make it hard for you to take credit when it’s due, or steer the company ship with confidence. But your actions, assertiveness and communication skills — or lack thereof — could be sabotaging your career.

Course highlights:

Discover how to lead with more self-confidence, to become a firm, no-nonsense communicator, and to take charge of your career in this C4CM audio conference.
