Women in Leadership
Do you have it all? For years, we have been under the impression that we are not enough, we are not able to “have it all”, we are constantly coming up short in meeting our goals and expectations. How are we seen by others? How do we “get a seat at the table”. How do we break through the glass ceiling and get everything we desire at work and in life? Let Beth show you how it IS possible to have it all! Rip up the ideology that women are less effective, less committed and less able to hold top C level jobs & board positions. Let’s together look to how we can be happier and more fulfilled in the work we do and in life!
