Why We Don't Get What We Want: The Power of Asking a Question!
A Woman's Leadership Development Series
This program can be delivered as a seminar or as a 1-2 day workshop. Drawing on real-life business scenarios, participants are guided through an experiential learning opportunity and then coached to obtain the desired outcome.
Program Overview
When it comes to asking for what we want, women don't! Those few who do are labeled as being too aggressive or even worse. Is it that women still need to get over old tapes, that "internal talk" that says be quiet, play nice, do good work and good things will happen for you? Or are we so grateful to be included at the table that we have relegated ourselves to taking whatever is handed out; discounting our desires for positions, promotions, compensation, relationships, etc? Regardless of the answer, it is time for women to learn how to express their desires with confidence and conviction. In this interactive session, women will learn how to honor their commitment to be authentic, not arrogant or overpowering, yet properly positioned to obtain success in all facets of their lives.
