Check out some of the highlights of the program here:

On why women have a hard time with self promotion...

Sue: I think it’s because we are taught at a young age to be nice and to be the reconciler for all arguments. [Self-promotion] is something we all need to work on because it helps you advance in a company.

On what real confidence is…

Helene: The whole point of my new book, The Confidence Myth, is that when we move forward out of our comfort zones it’s not going to feel comfortable. We can make a difference even with shaky knees. This is true in terms of self-promotion. Kathy Waller, CFO of Coca-Cola, talks about using “I and We” language. You can give credit to your team, but also let them know it’s your team.
