MARCH 16, 2022  •  12:00 – 1:30 P.M. EST

Join us for a discussion of the issues surrounding the Gender Pay Gap. Talking points include:

• There is a double standard when it comes to how men and women are perceived when negotiating, where men are viewed as assertive, but women are seen as aggressive and overbearing. Is it simply a matter of teaching women better negotiation skills? Or is there more at play? 
• Do women need to overcome perceptions in a traditional workplace? Or do the fundamental workplace philosophies need to change?
• How do we counteract stereotypes that paint women who show emotion as weak or poor leaders? 
• Women are often seen as supportive and accommodating—but where is the balance between being direct and seeing these as valuable skills? Should women be taught to be less supportive and accommodating, or do we need to rethink what essential skills are important? 
   

We’ll wrap with actionable takeaways from our panelists that you can use immediately.

Research shows women are apt to struggle with lack of confidence more than men do. 
We’ll explore why this is, and what can be done to overcome it, including a look at: 

• The “Imposter Syndrome”—feelings of self-doubt that persist despite your education, experience, and accomplishments.  
• The qualifiers women often use in speech, such as “just” and “I’m sorry.” 
• Why it is so hard for women to ask for what they want?

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022  •  12:00 – 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time

Women often feel the competing demands of work and home more than their male counterparts. We’ll delve into these and other issues: 

• Some women who choose to leave the workforce to have children end up behind when they try to reenter. What can be done to counteract challenges with reentering the workforce? 
• Studies show most household duties fall to women. What does that do to add to pressure, stress and guilt, and their impact on the workplace? 
• Are traditional benefits becoming less valuable than offering more modern workplace features such as flexibility, strong maternity and paternity leave policies, etc.? 
• Should organizations be measuring time, or results?  
• Women often miss out on informal networking opportunities such as golf outings, travel opportunities, and after work get-togethers because of their family responsibilities. How can they overcome these disadvantages? 
• Working single mothers face many challenges, including a lack of support. What can be done for this group? 
• Women often feel they must be everything to everyone, creating mental health strain from exhaustion, emotional depletion, and lack of self-care. How do we support women—and all employees—to prioritize physical and mental health, seek out help, and provide assistance such as therapy services, to reduce stigmas related to needing and asking for help?
