In tangible terms of power, promotion, and pay, women still rank second, even though we’ve come a long way in closing the gap. Too often, we believe that hard work and becoming the best at something will result in recognition and promotion. Wrong. Entry tickets, perhaps, but that’s not all it takes to get ahead. It takes having a strong “brand”—how you look, what you say, and who you know. Communication skills represent a huge opportunity for women to shed limiting styles, adopt stronger approaches, and reclaim power.
In her book, Closing the Leadership Gap, Marie Wilson states, “Our society upholds the masculinity of authority and the authority of masculinity.” Research shows that female executives trounce men in nearly every area of performance, but many lack “executive presence”. It’s an invisible barrier to credibility, leadership, and power. Thus, presence and impact are the latest keys to unlocking the executive suite to women. This presentation describes the six ingredients to Executive Impact. It includes a self-assessment and two “Do You Have IT” worksheets.
We are all procrastinators in some areas of our lives—whether it’s filing income taxes, cleaning out closets, or sending out thank you notes—anything we have delayed in favor of more pressing or pleasurable pursuits. This speech shares some of the causes for procrastination and offers six specific tools or concepts that are available to help anyone improve their productivity without guilt.
Most executives admit that their careers have evolved based on opportunism, hard work, and sometimes luck. The truth is that many savvy executives manage their business goals far better than they manage their careers, leaving them sometimes displaced or dissatisfied with their ultimate achievements. Mina presents the Four Cornerstones of successful career management that will last a lifetime.
Research shows that most employees are in jobs they hate. Life is just too short for that. The key to getting a perfect job and an exciting career is to first have a clear VISION of it. This presentation suggests a process for creating a vision and a plan to get from here to there.
It’s a small world after all! Networking is a key to success in almost any business endeavor. The most successful people know how to do it well, and continuously. Networking involves meeting people, making contacts, and building relationships in order to create the right opportunities. And it’s a lifelong process. This presentation provides a model for effective networking.
It’s not the person with the best resume, the best contacts, or even the best experience who get the job. It’s the person who interviews best. Preparation is 75% of the interview. This speech highlights some keys to nailing the interview and getting the job.
Our economy is so tightly interdependent that bad things in one sector can domino into others. Small businesses, especially, that provide services or products to larger corporations can be very seriously impacted. When your company or industry experiences economic volatility, what do you do? Do you SINK OR SWIM?
