2008 SWIB Conference Panel Topics
Panel A: "Doing Business in Heels: Making the Workplace A Place of Our Own"
As many more women rise to top leadership positions, they continue to transform the workplace for future generations of women. Today, women do not have to conform to the “men’s club” and can truly be themselves in the office – whether that means organizing female-focused networking events, dressing in feminine clothing or taking advantage of company programs for working mothers. Learn how women from various backgrounds have maintained their femininity and individuality in male-dominated industries.
Panel B: "Speaking Up: Being Your Best Advocate"
Many women often are reluctant to ask for promotions, special benefits, or even new responsibilities. But, as the old adage says “You are your best advocate” and men have learned this lesson well. Hear from women who have not only been able to ask for what they wanted in jobs but have also used their voice to launch their own successful businesses.
Panel C: "Balancing on Heels: Finding Your Fit"
Women are constantly faced with choices related to work / life balance. Today, most women are not actually looking for a balance but a way to fit their career, family, and social life into any given day, week, or month. It is important for women to maintain a healthy personal life to maintain true health and happiness. Learn how these busy women find their lifestyle fit and keep themselves healthy and balanced.
