Communicating with Power - Mastering Communication Habits for More Impact & Influence for Women
In this women-only workshop, participants will:
Identify common undermining speech habits that can weaken perceived authority
Explore the challenges of the “Likeability-Competence Double Bind” and how it uniquely impacts the way women leaders are evaluated
In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how tangible and successful allyship happens on the ground. First, participants will reconnect with baseline knowledge about power, privilege, identity, and intersectionality. Then, participants will explore what allyship means on the ground and how they can become more effective allies. What does it mean to be an ally? When should an ally step in, and when should an ally defer to someone else? We will discuss all these strategies and more.
Join us for an engaging workshop where attendees will be guided through the principles of Design Thinking—a human-centered, iterative method proven to tackle complex, “wicked” challenges effectively. Drawing from the Innovation Toolkit—a set of entrepreneurship and innovation tools - this session will empower you to redefine problems, spark creative ideas, and prototype impactful solutions. Participants are encouraged to explore the Innovation Toolkit ahead of time.
