12/05/16: The Need for Self Promotion

Women feel far more uncomfortable promoting themselves than men do, but without self-promotion, accomplished and skilled women will not advance at the rate that they deserve. Workshop objectives include:

  • Learning how and why self-promotion is critical to career advancement
  • Identifying strategies for promoting your work while not looking like a self-serving jerk
  • Formulating tactics for building relationships at different levels in your organization – and beyond

The workshop is facilitated by Dr. Nancy Wayne.
