WOMEN: INCREASE YOUR INFLUENCE AND SUCCESS AT WORK—WORKSHOP

NOTE: Instructor will provide materials.
***Students should bring their own lunch***

Doing your work well will not lead to success. Managers give recognition, raises and promotions based on other factors. You need to become influential on the job. Increase your influence in both business and your career by mastering seven influence platforms that are within your control.

This workshop gives working women insight into 7 sources of workplace success (influence platforms). This is a holistic approach that matches and clarifies the complex way in which women are evaluated at work. For each platform, we will discuss and then practice using specific techniques that work for women.

The workshop will be led by Taia Ergueta
