SheChanges: Workshops

My workshops tend to be highly experiential and steeped in real-life applications. It’s important to me that participants are able to easily integrate and apply the learnings from my workshops into their lives.

While I may be well-versed in a particular topic or experienced in the field, I tend not to present myself as an “expert” in any one subject. In that way, my workshops are intentionally designed to stimulate thoughts and dialogue in a manner through which we can learn from and leverage each other. Participants in my workshops typically are bright, curious, avid learners, and experienced in their own right. I welcome their insights and contributions and actively weave them into our discussions.

USM Continuing Education : Women's Ways of Leading

This one-day session is an invitation for women managers and supervisors from all sectors to explore the strengths women naturally bring to leadership roles and to discuss ways to unleash and harness those skills to increase personal effectiveness and ultimately, organizational success. We'll delve into the specific challenges (either self-imposed or culturally induced) women face as leaders and discuss strategies and techniques to address them. Participants of this workshop will spend the day consciously creating and honing their own leadership styles and perceptions and will walk away with a number of resources, concrete strategies, and specific techniques to support them as they seek to apply them in their business and leadership endeavors.

Maine Women's Fund Girl's Power Hour : A Working Mom's Dilemma: Exploring the Myths and Realities of "Opting Out" of the Workplace

While it has many names, “off-ramping,” “opting out,” “mommy-tracking”, it all points to the same issue: the ever-growing tendency of bright, high-achieving, accomplished women leaving organizations. Is this a choice; a result of a highly personal decision? Or is it reflective of a larger systemic issue of outdated workplaces? What’s a working mom to do? What’s an organization who wishes to retain these women to do? Are we at an impasse, or are there workable solutions? Come and share your insights as we explore this complex and highly charged issue and discuss where we go from here.
