  8. I’m not denyin’ the women are foolish: God Almighty made ‘em to match the MEN! GEORGE ELLIOT

  9. For I cannot think that God Almighty ever made them (women) so delicate, so glorious creatures; And furnished them with such charms, so agreeable and so delightful to mankind; with souls capable of the same accomplishments as men: and all, to be only stewards of our houses, cooks and slaves. DANIEL DEFOE on the Education of Women

  10. General Challenges Many barriers still prevent the progress of women:

  11. Business Challenges Ways women stunt their careers

  12. What Women Want “What women want in the workplace” by Sylvia Ann Hewlett

  13. The Possibilities • Based on McKinsey research: • Meaning: put your strengths to work for an inspiring purpose • Managing Energy: protect it, replace it, don’t waste it • Positive Outlook: resilience, constructive view, broad horizons • Connecting: build strong relationships, develop your sense of belonging • Engaging: express yourself, show confidence, be proud of being self reliant, collaborate.

  14. Networking Matters • People with strong networks enjoy more promotions, higher pay • Men build broader , shallower networks: wider range of resources • Women build narrower, deeper networks • Are the colleagues you are close to influential enough? • Women seldom reciprocate; Men understand that you must “give before you get” • Awkward relationships between female and male colleagues

  15. Options Having a sponsor or mentor improves your sense of belonging - A sponsor can open doors to opportunities Women who promote their own interests: ”aggressive or uncooperative” Provide and ask for help on a regular basis Forge connections through interests outside of work “Make it personal” – others will accept you more easily if they see your human side Take ownership of personal development

  16. Why a Women’s Forum
