LinkedIn JEDI Collection Learning Course

Proven Success Strategies for Women at Work

Women are underrepresented in the C-suite. And women who aspire to leadership roles face unique challenges in today's companies. They are passed over for key opportunities, paid less than their male colleagues, and left out of critical networks and sponsor relationships. Additionally, smaller everyday challenges impede women's progress at work, like being interrupted in meetings, having their ideas stolen, or having to do 'invisible work' for no credit. Being a woman at work today requires a unique set of skills and strategies.

In this course, business consultants Deborah Kolb and Elizabeth Robillard help women learn these strategies so they can get the job they want, the pay they deserve, and the credit that counts. They provide guidance on how to identify challenges, negotiate for better opportunities and compensation, get helpful feedback, and create a network of support. In the course, they use scenarios of real women tacking these challenges and coming out ahead.

Caregiver Workshops

The new year brings us a bit of challenge—a continuation of change and uncertainty. The “elephant in the room” is standing in the middle of most traditional caregiver bridges and there are no calendars or clocks that can tell us when the change will slow down. A caregiver will need to hone their bridge building skills, show their “unseen elephants” a little extra love, and find hope in the journey.

During the on-going pandemic, many people stepped back “to wait out the pandemic”. We stopped doing the pre-pandemic tasks, classes, and actions that helped us gain strength. It is time to stop waiting for the pandemic to end. Be safe, make good choices, but reinstate the actions that help you build strength now—even if these actions have to be applied in a new way. Re-evaluate what you gave up or start fresh, replacing actions that cannot be reinstated. Hope is found by doing.
