In today’s instant news world, every person who has a cell phone should be considered a reporter, because a story can be shot and downloaded to a major news organization’s website in less than 30 seconds.

Designed for women on a leadership trajectory, this engaging one-day program offers grounded techniques for building a powerful brand. Modules include: stepping up to the language of leadership, speaking with authority, seeing a clear view of ourselves and how we interact with others, and negotiating your value for guilt-free success. The session will reveal mental models that can hold women back, but more importantly, show how to change those mental models to allow for greater success.
