POSTPONED: DATE TBA
A continuation of our Women in Leadership Series
9 am – 3 pm
Effective leadership requires leaving your comfort zone in the face of uncertainty, leveraging your network, and the ability to recover after a setback. Research finds that systemic discrimination has put many women at a disadvantage in these areas. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn and practice skills for risk taking, networking, and resilience.
