Keynote by speaker Jen Buck The Future IS Female; Understanding Your Athena Spirit
If you’re like many women in business today, you have most likely watched the double-standards play out around you. Warnings of, “don’t be emotional”, “tone it down”, and “The Mommy Track” are very real things that women have to deal with. As of 2021, women only hold 8.2% of CEO positions in the Fortune 500. And, if you’re doing the math, that equates to 41 women. To make matters worse, women of color only hold two of those positions. Yet, across the board women hold more college degrees and Black women in particular hold more degrees than any other demographic.
The good news is that current research shows innate feminine qualities and behaviors are most attractive and desired for those in leadership positions. Employees want more communication, collaboration, empathy, and unity. Which means that who women naturally are is more influential than the aggressive and archaic model that we have been following for years. Women are naturally better at connecting and relating due to their instinctual emotional intelligence, which is why we are seeing the tides shift for women in leadership roles right now.
As a result of this powerful and inspiring keynote you will be able to:
- Identify the traits, behaviors, and characteristics of ideal leaders in today’s business world.
- Understand what sociologists calls feminine power and how to use it to supercharge your trajectory.
- Maximize your emotional intelligence to build stronger relationships and gain greater influence.
- Understand the rules of engagement when dealing with old school politics and The Good ‘ol Boy Network.
- Trailblazing, glass ceiling breaking, and rule busting; Embracing your role for our future female leaders
Developing, understanding and using your natural, innate female characteristics provides an opportunity for you to not only strategically plan your ascension, but also gain support of other female leaders, and sponsor new women to bring to the table.
Keynote by speaker Jen Buck Deep Bravery; Digging Deep and Achieving More Than You Ever Thought Possible
I have found that my life shrinks or expands in direct proportion to my willingness to step into my bravery and courage. Deep Bravery is a willingness to go to the limit of our self-control, to the very edge of our rational thinking, and commit to taking risks so that we can expand our opportunities. It’s jumping into the deep end. It’s throwing out the life jacket. It’s stepping off the edge. But, mostly, it’s trusting that you are prepared, you have done the work, and you are willing to take the risk, no matter how scary potential failure seems.
In this supercharged and motivational keynote you will learn to:
- Recognize the patterns of the brain that trick you into playing it safe.
- Override the signals that your brain is giving you in order to tap into your Deep Bravery.
- Reframe your fear and find the truth in your capabilities and desires.
- Notice the ways we shrink our space so you can flip the script and start expanding your opportunities.
- Use your voice, position, and privilege to take up space speak truth to power
The world is changing, jobs are morphing, traditional roles are shifting, and we are faced with a very new normal. With the Covid crisis, we are seeing the need for agility, adaptability, and flexibility; all of those decisions are tied to your willingness to push beyond your fears and doubts, and dive into your deep bravery.
