In this presentation, I bring together what I hae learned in 20 years of researching women leaders around the world.

I set forth and passionately defend the advantages and skills that women bring to organizations, and show why these skills are precisely what organizations need today. My emphasis is positive and affirming. From the first, I have focused on what women have to offer their organizations instead of how they need to change or adapt, and I’m proud that The Female Advantage was the first book to look at women’s contributions through a positive lens.

Over the last few years, I’ve also begun to explore the major challenges that still hold women back from achieving their maximum leadership potential. In this presentation, I focus on three of those challenges: Claiming visibility, building strong connections and balancing conflicting demands.

I explore these challenges and offer solid, practical, and concrete advice on how to overcome them. My aim in is to help women realize their gifts, articulate their style, identify what is holding them back, and develop an action program for moving forward in a powerful and confident way.

I can deliver this presentation in a variety of formats, ranging from a 45 minute keynote to a half day seminar.
