Women leaders at every level have more pressure on them than ever to produce efficient results, show value that can't be duplicated by artificial intelligence and build skills that help position their organizations for growth in the future. Taking risks to speak up with divergent ideas, challenge old ways of doing things, ask for help or say "I don't know" are among necessary actions that can set women leaders and their organizations on a path to growth and impact.

In today's diverse workplace, building effective relationships is essential for collaboration, teamwork, and overall success. This program, led by Sally, uses vivid, real-life examples to help participants recognize common triggers that can challenge their efforts to connect with individuals who may seem different from themselves. Rather than attempting to eliminate these triggers - many of which are beyond our control - this program emphasizes the importance of managing our responses to them. By doing so, participants can foster stronger relationships, engage a broader range of allies, and enhance collaboration and teamwork. Through interactive discussions and practical strategies, participants will learn how to navigate these triggers and adopt inclusive behaviors that promote trust, mutual respect, and team cohesion.
