LIVE ACTION PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION STEPS WEBINAR: Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET
Presented by Mel Butcher, Co-Leader, Lead to Soar
While many more women earn engineering degrees today, they exit the profession at a higher rate than male counterparts because they aren’t adequately supported with the critical training almost every DEI initiative misses, and instead are told to be more confident and more assertive.
Advancing in any A/E/C organization requires contributing to more than project execution and being a good people person. It demands an understanding of, focus on, and success in hitting business performance targets. So what can your firm do to build a more diverse C-Suite, and reap the recruiting, cultural, and project-win rewards that come with that?
Rising women with A/E/C leadership potential need training, mentorship, and feedback in the areas on which their success most deeply depends — achieving and sustaining your firm’s business, strategic, and financial goals.
In this 60-minute action-plan webinar, leading A/E/C DEI expert Mel Butcher throws out everything you’ve been told to try (and have probably been frustrated with) and instead delivers fresh research-backed methods for helping women in your firm advance into sustained, successful, and rewarding executive careers. Invest just one hour to learn:
• The three components of A/E/C leadership, and how to support women in acquiring critical skills.
• Women’s and men’s perceived leadership strengths and weaknesses
• Actions for women, managers, HR, and firm leadership to address training and retention of your talent pool.
We cannot afford to continue losing talent. Nor can we expect equitable outcomes in closing the gender leadership gap without taking steps to level the playing field. Register now for this FREE webinar loaded with practical steps and initiatives you can apply at your firm to increase the representation of women on your executive team.
