GLOW Career & Empowerment Conference

Conversations about women in the workplace espouse a number of values that women should be cultivating to craft their own success: confidence, grit, resilience, and the like. But I would argue that as workplaces adapt to shifting trends, women can make themselves invaluable by developing and regularly exercising a creativity practice. This keynote seeks to espouse the benefits of creativity as a practice, share some key traits and skills that women can develop to get in touch with their creative side, and why they matter so much - not just for the success of their businesses or organizations, but for their own personal affirmation.

Conversation circles are your opportunity to connect with other conference attendees informally and with a theme expert to guide the conversation.
Our theme expert, Catherine, will lead us through the conversation. This is your chance to process learning, connect with other attendees who are interested in the topic of Gender and Leadership, and share ideas and resources during our virtual events.
We hope that you will join us as a chance to strengthen your network, share goals, and connect with a local expert. We also hope that these conversations will help us identify great ideas for future sessions with GLOW!

We encourage folks to share what they are hearing during the day, and folks are welcome to join to chat or listen.

"Women need to learn to speak with authority and to stop apologizing when they speak!" Are you exhausted from trying to keep all the advice on communication straight? Are you tired of hearing that your communication style isn’t good enough? Are you sick of the assumption that women need to fix the way they naturally communicate? ME TOO! Join this workshop to unlearn all the bad advice you’ve been given (which isn’t based on real data). Then you’ll learn how to hone in on and amplify your authentic communication style that is all your own! You’ll get real in-the-moment coaching & tips that will help you showcase your badass self at work, in front of a crowd, making sales pitches, and more.

In the current national environment, tensions are extremely high.  Divisiveness and confrontation are the automatic reactions to many disagreements.  As leaders, how do we ensure our relationships foster a collaborative, forward thinking posture?  How do we lead with resilience and encouragement to promote sustainable working relationships?   Many federal agencies have alternative dispute resolution programs to resolve workplace disputes.  Similarly, community mediation works to solve disputes but among the various community stakeholders.  This workshop will discuss the principles leaders can use to ensure organizational and community relationships persevere through the tensions.
