ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Exploring concepts related to power and presence, this interactive workshop is designed for women leaders in schools who want to explore their relationship with personal power as well as strengthen their public presence. Two heads of school with decades of experience in leadership will use both research and personal experience to help participants consider the ways women can and should take up space in the world. With a focus on physical presence, voice, and story, each participant will have an opportunity to reflect on her personal style (“brand”), strengths, and challenges as well as practice skills in a safe and supportive group setting. Participants will conclude the session delivering a one- to two-minute personal story that incorporates the concepts learned and discussed in the workshop. Be prepared to engage deeply and leave with a sense of your power and presence!
