Power Seminars in New York:
Why Women Are Good for Business — and Why We Should Be Confident
How Women Can Project Our Value
A 2011 Catalyst study found companies with a high percentage of women board members outperformed those that didn’t. In fact, having women onboard overall is simply good for business. Find out why you should be confident in your job search and how to project your value in two sessions hosted by career strategist and executive coach Dani Ticktin Koplik. Dani speaks to, coaches and mentors women at every stage of their careers to ensure they have the skills, resilience and fortitude to succeed.
Networking Doesn’t Have to Be Work
Smile and Be Friendly: Taking the WORK out of Networking
