PROGRAM SCHEDULE

 

Being Strategic

Tuesday, February 14, 2012 (Register to receive the recording)

“How can I be more strategic?” is something everyone has thought about, but what does that mean? How do leaders go from being reactive and tactical to thinking and acting strategically? Hear how to create, communicate, and implement strategy. Learn the principles of becoming a good strategist in an individual role, or with teams.

 

Guest speaker: Ellie Pidot, Vice President, Strategy at Medtronic

 

Sponsors: Advocates for Your Advancement

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 (Register to receive the recording)

Sponsors are senior leaders who can advocate on your behalf and connect you with opportunities. Harvard Business Review has reported that high-potential women are over-mentored and under-sponsored relative to male peers. Explore the difference between mentors and sponsors and learn steps to cultivating successful sponsor relationships.

 

Guest speakers:

  • Amanda Martinez, VP Manufacturing Operations - US Grocery at Safeway

Marcus Buckingham said “You grow most in your areas of greatest strength”. By being true to your strengths and values, you can steer your career into a ‘sweet spot’ where you can learn, grow, and succeed with ease.

Alternate Career Paths: Up is Not the Only Way Forward

Tuesday, August 28, 2012

Your next great career leap forward might not be a step up. Traditionally, career progression meant moving up through a hierarchy, possibly at the expense of rewarding experiences, exploration and enrichment. Hear from women who have carved out unique and non-traditional paths to leadership and rewarding careers.

 

Guest speakers:

  • Liza Cuevas, Senior Director, Human Resources at Citrix Systems

  • Maridana ("Mike") Fitzgerald, Vice President of R&D at JDSU

Work-Life Integration

Tuesday, October 30, 2012

With the pressures of technology, globalization, and productivity, the typical workday has encroached upon what used to be considered home life. It’s harder than ever to maintain boundaries. Explore ways to identify the right balance between work and home, allowing you to contribute fully to both. We’ll share practices to manage it all and also how to communicate expectations to those around you.

 

Guest speakers:

  • Jennifer Pope, Vice President, Member Interactions, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

  • Shannan Gardner, Partner at Moss Adams LLP
