Topics, Sessions And Talks
In this candid, motivational speech, Claire Shipman offers up the most compelling and surprising new research from her latest book, The Confidence Code, which suggests that confidence may well be the missing ingredient for women today who are eager to find both success and satisfaction at work and at home. Women are achieving unprecedented success in public and private sectors. But still, there’s a dark shadow of doubt that women can nurture—doubt about their ideas, their abilities, their right to rule at the top. Just one example of the real-world results: women won’t apply for promotions, according to some studies, unless they have 100% of the qualifications. Men will go for that job when they have 60% of the qualifications. Shipman gets to the bottom of the female confidence conundrum with basic, provocative questions like these:
New research reveals that women often avoid seeking power due to its high costs and unappealing nature. However, companies and countries thrive with more women in leadership roles. Claire Shipman argues that instead of women changing themselves, we need to redefine power and the paths to it. By focusing on using power for positive change and understanding its importance, power becomes more accessible and appealing for women. This new model, designed by and for women, empowers them to lead fuller, more satisfying lives and benefits men as well. Attendees will learn how to make power more accessible and impactful for women.
America is on the brink of a major workplace revolution, with women now making up the majority of workers, partly due to the recession. The recent layoffs have disproportionately affected men, but companies with more senior women are seeing higher profits. Women are more inclusive, focused on long-term results, and often better educated. They seek flexible career paths that allow time for personal commitments. Claire Shipman offers insights and personal stories on balancing careers and personal lives. Attendees will learn how women's contributions are reshaping the workplace, how to achieve work-life balance, and what employers can do to attract and retain women.
