Reaching 1,000 Women!

March 13, 2008

Rebecca Shambaugh presented her research and concepts on leadership today and made the business case for furthering the development and advancement of women business leaders. Rebecca outlined that today's demographics, economics and consumer trends as well as the organizational demand for a broader spectrum of leadership traits are providing greater opportunities and choices for women. 

Rebecca provided an overview of her sticky floors - those self-limiting behaviors assumptions and beliefs that can hold smart and accomplished women from achieving their career goals, which sometimes include Executive Suite positions. Men in the audience were engaged as they gained helpful insights in how to better mentor or coach women they work with, and women appreciated the practical advice and techniques to apply for getting unstuck or avoiding the sticky floors.
