Peer Forums for Women in Leadership expand opportunities and circles of influence
Women have recently lost hard-earned gains in the workplace. The pandemic has taken its toll – the number of women remaining in the workforce has reverted to 1988 levels. The situation is problematic, particularly at the senior levels where women have been in the minority from the start. Add to this the complexity of a world where change is the only constant, and the stress of managing a household, and it’s no wonder that women choose to leave high pressure positions.

A powerful and misunderstood key to leadership success
What is influence? The movies often portray influence as making a dramatic speech at the climax of the story (complete with music swelling in the background) or making a killer presentation that convinces everyone in the room they’ve underestimated you. It’s more complex than that. Influencing is a critical competency of leadership effectiveness.

If you need a mentoring resource to boost your career, just ask
Mentoring is an untapped resource that can change your career and life. In a recent survey, 76 percent of 3,000 people think mentors are important, but only 37 percent have one.
Like any good relationship, mentoring is based on trust. Traditionally, organizations have looked at mentoring as a career development process that builds the capabilities of a less experienced person by pairing them with one who is more seasoned — a trusted adviser of sorts that has been there and done that.
