Women leaders at every level have more pressure on them than ever to produce efficient results, show value that can't be duplicated by artificial intelligence and build skills that help position their organizations for growth in the future. Taking risks to speak up with divergent ideas, challenge old ways of doing things, ask for help or say "I don't know" are among necessary actions that can set women leaders and their organizations on a path to growth and impact. But, when women consider rejection, humiliation or failure as potential outcomes, they can find it difficult to act with courage — opting instead for safety and limited growth. This interactive workshop equips participants with practical tools to build their competence and confidence to courageously speak up, take more risks and own their brilliance at work.
