Leadership through Images andtheir Influence

Why is developing an impactful leadership cultureacross the organization a business imperative formany companies? Effective leadership spursproductivity and helps teams thrive in times oftransition and change, leading to a competitive edgeand better bottom lines. Visual Leadershipsm is apowerful, results-oriented leadership developmenttechnique that uses images to help participantsaccess and express deeply held attitudes aboutleadership. Images elicit ideas, attitudes andemotions in a profound and authentic way, whichallows us to better perceive, understand and actupon the patterns that emerge. This unique approachincreases leader self-awareness and builds high-performing leaders and teams by driving deeperthinking and stimulating more open and personalconversations about leadership.

Gender Bias in the Workplace: TheSecret to Cracking the Code atLast

The numbers are shocking: Based on today’s wagegap, the average U.S. woman starting her career nowwill lose more than $425,000 over a 40-year career.And it has been reported that some $12 trillion couldbe added to the global GDP by 2025 by advancingwomen’s equality. We’ve heard the talk. Where’s theaction? Bloomberg wants to be a game changerwhen it comes to helping women get ahead. In thistalk, Natasha Cholerton-Brown, a former war-zonephotographer, takes on a battle close to home: Shewill discuss her path through the unchartered watersof a rather unconventional career, her employer’snew data-based tracker, the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, and what companies and leadersneed to do to help make sure more ambitiousemployees have a shot at the top.

This is What Feminine LeadershipLooks Like

When women first entered the workforce and beganadvancing into leadership positions, there was onlyone model for how to lead: like a man. That modelhas its advantages, but is inherently incompletewithout its feminine complement. Any effective leadermust value and demonstrate qualities of both, yet toooften the feminine gets lost in the competitive cultureof More, Bigger, Faster, NOW. Conscious FeminineLeadership empowers women leaders to own andvalue their strengths as women. By invitingmindfulness, inclusivity, authenticity, and self-careinto our work, we can shift the culture and create amore holistic and healthy way of doing business. Thisinteractive session will show you how you can beginincorporating Conscious Feminine Leadershippractices and ideals in your everyday work life andsee that effort ripple outward to effect real change.

Gina HelfrichCo-FounderRECRUITHER

Combatting Stereotypes in STEM

In the new knowledge economy, outdated 20thcentury approaches to HR and performancemanagement are incapable of supporting a highlycompetitive and productive workforce. Savvycompanies are redesigning their workplaces basedon cutting-edge research in psychology andsociology. Formerly obscure academic terms likestereotype threat, unconscious bias, and growthmindset are rapidly becoming key concepts for HRprofessionals. This talk will explain the core businessprocesses most affected by this research andhighlight tools and methods for addressing these newHR challenges. I will discuss the most effectivestrategies to attract, retain, and develop a diverseand productive workforce for the 21st century.

Politics is ineffective and uninspiring right now.  Whatwe need are new voices in political leadership.  I willtalk about the need to get more young women to runand why including this diverse, fresh thinking groupwill help change politics and society for the better. Adding young women to a Congress where theaverage age is  62, 94%  are white and 81% are malewill help break the partisan gridlock and bring newsolutions to problems that haven’t been consideredbefore. I will talk about how we inspire young womento run, and how we train them to win.  I will alsodiscuss the barriers that hold young women backfrom running and how to overcome them.

Carol SankarFounderTHE CONFIDENCE FACTOR FOR

WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

Confidence Factor for Women inLeadership

Diversity and inclusion is more than a gender andracial gap; it is also a language gap. To increase thepercentage of women in leadership, we must learnthe language of the leaders at the table. In ourresearch, we recognized that our participantsremained at the “beginners table” and mislabeledtheir expertise due to a lack of confidence to leveragenew leadership skills. It takes confidence to learn anew language, but it is a necessary part of increasingthe percentage of women leaders. The language ofleadership will bridge the gap for women who areseeking to fill elevated leadership and advisory roles,while limiting the effects of professional intimidation.The Confidence Factor for Women in Leadership isbased on 4 years of in house research and thelanguage barrier for women was one of the topissues women expressed was the lack of preparationfor high level leadership roles. This talk will givewomen the confidence to create value in themarketplace by limiting the language gap.

Women In Sports and InfluentialMarketing Campaigns

For women it’s no longer acceptable for companiesto just “shrink it and pink it” - the old “lets just scaledown the men’s version of a product” and add aglossy coat of what is perceived to be a “femalepleasing color” on them just doesn’t work as a sellingtool anymore. Women want and need, research tocreate a product that works for them on every levelfor superior performance, fit, and functionality. Theywant to see the research, they want to know WHY,and most of all, they want to see someone likethemselves using the product in a honest way.Marketing campaigns need to strive for using realwomen over models, athletic builds over skinny girls,action vs lounging, and have a message and climaxto them that makes you want to take action andbetter yourself.
