Mobilizing your Social Intelligence and Presence

Tuesday, May 20, 2008
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Rebecca Shambaugh, author of It's Not A Glass Ceiling, It's A Sticky Floor, returns to WIB to present a provocative and engaging discussion on what really holds women back from achieving their career and whole life goals. In this session, attendees will learn and apply proven techniques and tools for addressing one of the more common sticky floors for women -- social intelligence and presence. This forum will be experiential and will inspire attendees to take on new behaviors that will both enhance your performance as well as increase your credibility, power and influence. "Social Intelligence" is most closely aligned with successfully gaining the co-operation of others. Whether it pertains to projects you are working on, client specific initiatives or your own career development, this session will help participants achieve their career goals. Participants will also explore the importance of how to capitalize on their own Presence and how it shows up; they will learn to apply a practical tool that covers nine elements for capitalizing on this subtle but important area.

Content areas will include:

Examining Your Social Intelligence
Recognizing the Components of having an effective Presence
Demonstrating Your Confident Presence
Being Authentic as You ...Want to Be
Building Your Empathy (connectedness with others)
