Topic: Closing the Leadership Gender Gap – What Really Holds Women Back and What They Can Do About It

Women possess many of the important leadership attributes essential for leading in the 21st Century. In fact, women consistently outperform men when it comes to interpersonal and professional competencies and skills yet they are still far behind men when it comes to the most senior levels. Why is that? Recent studies show that talented female leaders do not have as much opportunity in developing their leadership agility. This calls for experience in dealing with complex business challenges and growing and leveraging their business acumen in strategic areas that provide high visibility that are sought after in the C-Suite. Unfortunately, this is the skill that most women’s global leadership programs fail to focus on.

So, how do women close this gap and develop their agility and acumen as a leader?

Rebecca Shambaugh will share her organization’s research and strategies, as well as individual and organizational best practices from her bestselling books, “It’s Not a Glass Ceiling, It’s a Sticky Floor” and “Make Room for Her: Why Organizations Need an Integrated Leadership Model to Achieve Extraordinary Results,” on a multi-level framework for becoming a strategic and agile leader that will not only open doors and create greater opportunities for female leaders but also be the catalyst for gender balanced leadership in the 21st Century.

This session will include:

  • Assessing Your Current Leadership Agility and Influence
  • The Number One Thing That Holds Women Back from Developing Leadership Agility
  • Staying Focused on What Matters – Having a Results Focused Mindset
  • Developing Your Leadership Agility Through a Multi-Level Framework
  • Showing Up with Your Executive Voice

Rebecca speaks before thousands of leaders around the world every year, challenging conventional wisdom and overturning assumptions about how to lead in today’s business environment. Her compelling and new vision for leadership in the 21st Century has electrified and inspired audiences on six continents. 

Rebecca has been showcased on CNBC, TED Talks, Fox News (New York), NPR, Washington Business, ABC, and numerous syndicated radio talk shows. Rebecca is the author of the best-selling books titled, “It’s Not a Glass Ceiling, It’s a Sticky Floor,” “Leadership Secrets of Hillary Clinton,” and “Make Room for Her: Why Companies Need an Integrated Leadership Model to Achieve Extraordinary Results.”
