Jan. 17 Discussion
Position Yourself for the Top Job
Executive Branding for Women on the Move
Women have made great strides progressing up the ranks of leadership and business ownership.  But only a few make it to the top spots.  Why? Many women do not know how to position themselves for a seat at the table.  They often do not exude the same level of confidence and presence associated with CEOs and heads of state.  Learning to master the art of executive branding can be the difference between moving up the ladder and being stuck on the middle rung.  Annie Gallagher, president of Gallagher Consulting Group, will share insights to help you shatter your glass ceiling.  In this highly interactive and fun session, you will learn:

• How top leaders gain the competitive edge…and how you can too;
• How to avoid the four communication pitfalls most female professionals make;
• How to project your unique voice so it is heard in the board room;
• The ins and outs of achieving your goals by leveraging your executive brand; and
• Five practical tips you can use right away to position yourself for the top job.

You can’t get the corner office by sitting on the sidelines….so come join us on January 17, 2017.
