The Power of Supportive Women’s Networks

Having a supportive network of women in your career can be one of the most important ingredients to your success. Like many young women, Amy believed that she would have the same opportunities as men in the workplace, but as she moved up the corporate ladder, she noticed more and more women were not alongside her. During this session, Amy will share research and lessons learned from her own experience, and that from women she admires, on how to grow and learn at any stage of your career to achieve your goals. No matter if you’re advanced in your career or just starting out, you will learn why it’s important for women to bring each other along on their professional journeys, and how to be more mindful in supporting and aligning with women who inspire you. To further support you in your career journey, you will learn powerful tools on how to discover and align your authentic self and inner talents with the work you do to create a greater sense of work-life harmony.

Learning objectives:

• How to create and nurture a supportive women’s network;
• Why it’s important to manage up, not just down;
• The power of finding or being a sponsor, not just a mentor;
• The steps to create a greater sense of work-life harmony; and,
• How to discover and align your authentic self and inner talents with the work you do.

Your Personal Brand: Bringing Your Authentic Self to Work

Your personal brand is how you represent yourself to the outside world — friends, family, and colleagues. It can be tempting to put on a mask — especially with social media, but it’s not authentic and people see through it and may not relate to you at work or personally. Rather than worrying about your real personality coming through in how you portray yourself to the world, instead embrace it, and intentionally review what you put out into the world and the experience you create. You may find that the people start responding to you differently because they are attracted to people that are authentic. Once you begin to connect on a more human level, you can create a meaningful relationship, whether in business or at home.
