To be seen as the expert or the authority in your field? What will it take to get that next promotion? Or a new job? Or a board seat? Often, nothing more than the willingness to speak up and share your thoughts and experiences in public. Employers have always valued the employee who speaks well. Public speaking is, and always will be, an important skill, and well worth developing. Founders, company owners and consultants know it is important to get onstage in order to promote their products and services. This presentation led by Bobbie Carlton focuses on:

Many women are reluctant to actively promote their value because it feels self-serving or inauthentic. Rather than promote themselves, they prefer to believe that their work will speak for itself. Unfortunately, without the confidence and commitment to share your value with others, you may lose out on important opportunities to raise your visibility, make a bigger impact and advance within your organization. In this webinar, conducted by Kim Meninger, you’ll learn:

Fearlessness as a Daily Practice Relying on willpower alone to move forward in a fear-driven state is exhausting. While "feel the fear and do it anyway" is an oft-quoted mantra, anyone who's done this in practice finds that it takes quite a lot of energy to sustain. What if instead of "pushing" and "fighting" you were able to approach the challenges of business and life with ease? The practice of fearlessness allows you to instead use that energy to create forward action. Together, we will examine the role of fear in your life and explore the practices that will allow you to move toward being truly fearless.

That is a myth. For many people, especially women, the top fear is public JUDGMENT. As a woman leader or emerging leader, how do you OWN what you’re saying without feeling like a fraud? Whether you’re speaking up in an online virtual conference, a board meeting or giving a presentation, you need to be able to speak with confidence to influence your listeners. Key Takeaways from this virtual workshop led by Mary Cheyne:

At work we negotiate not just our jobs and salaries, but research priorities, budgets, staffing, deliverables and time tables. At home some of us negotiate child care pick up and drop off, who is making dinner and who stays home when the kids are sick. While men and women are equally skilled negotiators, women face some additional challenges. Not only were many of us not raised to advocate for our own interests, but we sometimes pay a social cost when we assert our needs and interests. We’ll dive into what we negotiate, our beliefs around advocating for ourselves, how to mitigate others’ negative perceptions when we assert our interests and two tools for increasing our effectiveness. You will leave with a better understanding of what is getting in your way and what to do about it. This virtual event will be led by Amy Rebecca Gay.

Not only does sleep deprivation negatively impact our short-term performance (e.g. focus, decision-making, etc.), it also has severe ramifications for our long-term health (e.g. heart disease, obesity, anxiety & depression). If you’re a professional looking to get the next promotion, help shatter the glass ceiling, or otherwise kick ass at work (while keeping things at home running smoothly), refreshing sleep is a REQUIREMENT for your success and good health. At least 1 in 3 adults struggle with sleep challenges, and at least half are women. We're women who read articles and blogs, listen to podcasts, buy weighted blankets, and download sleep apps to track and help us sleep. We know what temperature our bedrooms should be, we try to exercise and eat right, we take supplements. Yet many of us STILL have concerns about their nightly sleep & daily energy. It's time for a different perspective: one that helps us understand and address root causes of our sleeplessness.

More Information: https://www.westorg.org/2020-04-15-webinar-mindfulness Maximize Your Seat at the Table Webinar The literal and proverbial “seat at the table” represents your ability to have a voice in your organization and successfully influence others. Some women struggle to get to the table. Others experience challenges maximizing their seat when they get there. To expand your influence, make a bigger impact and more effectively achieve your professional goals, you need to make your voice heard. As women, however, many of us struggle to find our voices in the workplace. With increased confidence, communication skills and political savvy, you can maximize your seat at the table. In this session, you’ll learn from Kim Meninger how to get a seat, effectively use your seat and maintain your seat for the long-term.

This would be OK if the only opinion that mattered was our own. The challenge is that when we need to lead and collaborate, their opinions and perspectives matter, too. However, it is nearly impossible to get curious about what they are thinking if we are stuck in our own certainty.
