It's an exciting time for women in business today. We are well positioned for success and as more and more women enter the workforce, there are more opportunities for women to assume leadership positions. However, consider this:
- Most companies recruit men and women into management in equal numbers but almost from the first level up, the gender split drops off steadily.
- Men fill the senior executive ranks almost entirely: 80% of men move up to senior executive positions, while only 20% of women do.
- Many women who want to advance their careers literally get stuck on the way up the corporate ladder.
This is what I call career quicksand. You feel stuck and invisible in the organization no matter how hard you work. You see others getting promoted and you don't understand why you're not getting ahead. Once you are stuck in career quicksand, it is unlikely that you will get out unless you are savvy and can think strategically about the best way out. The harder you work, the more it works against you and this goes against everything we've been taught about how to succeed.
In this webinar, you will get 10 tips so that you will never get stuck in career quicksand again! You will receive an escape kit to catapult your career upward and you will discover:
- The common reasons women get stuck in career quicksand.
- How to avoid the pitfalls that keep you from propelling your career forward.
- The tools to promote and position yourself for career success.
In addition, when you register for this webinar, you will receive a Career Success Scorecard to assess your advancement potential.
