What does it take to be a successful female leader in a world still very much dominated by men? Monique Tallon, a women’s leadership and inclusion expert, and author of Leading Gracefully: A Woman’s Guide to Confident, Authentic and Effective Leadership, will present a radically new approach to leadership that is designed to play to women’s strengths, while leveraging traditional qualities of leadership. What works for men doesn't necessarily work for women in a leadership context, and given obstacles like gender bias, women need a new roadmap to leadership that is designed to help them succeed.
During this high-content, interactive pre-conference, you will learn about:
• How gender bias and the “Double Bind” can hinder women's advancement
• "The Leadership Tightrope" where women have to choose between being liked vs. respected
• 7 strengths that women possess that are necessary for leading high-performing teams and organizations
• 4 traditional qualities of leadership that women need for maximum impact
• Practical tips, tools and practices to develop a balanced, authentic and confident approach to leadership
After her presentation, Monique will lead a panel discussion to address the specific challenges faced by women in leadership in home care and hospice, featuring:
• Susan Adams, VP Alliance Integration, Masonicare Home Health & Hospice
• Wanda Coley, President and Chief Operating Officer, Well Care Health
• Marcylle Combs, Owner/President, Foundation Management Services
All participants will receive a copy of Monique's book, Leading Gracefully: A Woman’s Guide to Confident, Authentic and Effective Leadership.
There is a separate registration required for this pre-conference. Breakfast is included.
