The “Not-so-sweet-16” GAMES WOMEN PLAY that sabotage success When Money & Power are on the Table

In business as in life, men and women have different reasons for, and ways of, communicating. Words that create trust between women may alienate men, even leave them unwilling to choose to do business with women.

At last, a presentation that places no blame for the inherent differences. Instead, speaker's intent is to educate and awaken women to the unconscious communication patterns which may limit success in business.

Women and men alike will recognize these patterns. Most importantly, women will recognize themselves in these patterns. Awareness is the first step for women claiming their leadership in all arenas.

Moving From #MeToo to #MePowerful

#MeToo: public opinion condemns and blames. But will blaming solve this war between the sexes? Of course not.

Blaming polarizes opinions and blocks human ability to learn, collaborate and transform. But we can learn…if we stop the blame and start engaging.

Who's responsible for changing society? Only men, or women as well? Do some behaviors collude with powerlessness? Could properly-educated women prevent violations?

What's possible for equality and human rights if women become the change they wish to see? Isn’t it time for intelligent, innovative conversation on real change?

You’ll take away:
--Awareness of the “victim” model and alternatives
--16 unconscious games women play + self-awareness
--Strategies for desirable outcomes

“Games Women Play” is relevant and timely. Full players in business and society, women must now be active in preventing harrassment. This is how society will change.

In this talk, you'll be challenged to grow. The opportunity is now.
