3-Days Curriculum Concept

14

It (the company/Organization)

We (the team)

I (me)

- Realized strengths & unrealized strengths (focus on strengths), building a team cocktail

- Personal brand/Mission/Career tree- Shining in the spotlight- Balance- Unconscious biases

- “Elevator pitch”- Your network (depth & diversity)- Coaching and mentoring (stretch)- Communication and difficult conversations

- Accelerating Change- Change models- Objectives/Commitments

The program focused on skills that women are seen as needing support in areas such as:1) Finding their clear purpose for working2) Getting into the spotlight & Pitching yourself (at 60%!)3) Staying logical (and not getting emotional) during difficult conversations4) Balance (work/life(personal), male/female traits, etc)


Takeaways

15

ü Support a more diverse NTT, starting with gender diversity to support females to stay and grow in the workplace – ensuring it is business-results driven, not diversity for the sake of getting women ahead. Needs clear executive leadership & messaging.

ü Overcoming/helping others overcome unconscious biases; although well intentioned… let the women make their own decisions

ü Getting others into the spotlight - On a daily basis, make a difference – ie – assigning qualified women to the stretch assignments/getting women to take those stretch assignments (or roles), mentoring

ü Getting men aware and involved


Women in Tech Leadership @ TMForum

What can we do?

u Promote more women to be visible – such as join the catalysts, present their work, have their skills recognized, recommend to sit on panels, etc.

u Networking opportunities – finding a role model that fits you

u Outcomes should be measured on its positive business value, and not for the numbers for women’s advancement
