Women in School Leadership Forum

 You’re smart! You’re educated!  Your resume is packed with stunning accomplishments.  Then why are you not getting ahead in your career? Chances are you may need to hone in on personal traits to enhance your “Executive Presence”.  In an increasingly diverse workplace where looks and degrees are no longer “everything” what does it take to create a commanding executive presence?  The right clothes, a firm handshake, an impressive degree? These all matter but they don’t tell the whole story. In a recent survey of CEOs, executive presence was rated second for the top leadership traits that make a difference (technology skills ranked 12th).  Dr. Marilou Ryder, author of Rules of the Game: How to Win a Job in Educational Leadership (Delmar Publishing) will share traits that professionals with strong executive presence display and help participants to start managing their own executive presence in the work force.
