  • Have you ever wondered why you can work effectively with some people, while others just drive you crazy? The reasons can often be traced to natural preferences we have for how we process information, make decisions, plan our approach to work and interact with others. These preferences are assessed by the Myers-Briggs Psychological Type instrument. This one-day workshop will involve you in eye-opening exercises to demonstrate differences in preference, improve your self-understanding and give you tools to work more effectively with others.

  • Workplace bullying can take many forms, including shouting at someone, name-calling, belittling and making someone feel unimportant, being treated with disrespect, excessive monitoring, constant nitpicking/criticizing/flying off the handle especially over trivial or minor matters or mistakes, making someone feel bad and ashamed, deliberately overloading someone with work, undermining someone such as setting them up to fail, purposefully withholding information which is needed for the person to do their job efficiently, and excluding someone from normal workplace/staffroom conversations and making someone feel unwelcome. There are strategies you can learn to identify allies, build your confidence, and stand up to your tormentor – or decide when to walk away with your sanity and dignity intact.

It is about identifying internal and external barriers women confront in leadership and how to triumph above them. Sheryl Sandberg , the COO of Facebook is ranked one of Fortune's list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World. She suggested in her NY Times best seller, that women need to Lean In. She asks the question why men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in the US. Women became 50% of the college graduates in the early 1980s.A meager twenty-one of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. Women hold about 14% of executive officer positions, 17 percent of board seats, and constitute 18 percent of our elected congressional officials.
