April 27, 2015 By Rebecca Shambaugh

Join the conversation tomorrow, Tuesday April 28th, from 11AM to 5PM ET

when Leadership Expert, Author and Speaker, Rebecca Shambaugh will be answering your questions about recognizing and fostering women leaders!

 Start a conversation about women and leadership, and sooner or later you’ll be talking about the glass ceiling—what happens when you hit it, how to break through it, what to do once you’ve managed to crack it.

Read on for Rebecca’s ideas on why perfectionism isn’t doing women any favors, how to speak with confidence, and what companies need to do to foster the development of female leaders… “How To Break Through The Glass Ceiling? Get Off The Sticky Floor”
