The Art of Leadership for Women
May 29, 2014 Toronto
This post is part of the YummyMummyClub.ca and The Art of Leadership for Women #YMCLeadership sponsored program. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post reflects my personal opinion about the information provided by the sponsors.
If you are in business for yourself or in a management position (or want to be in a management position!) invest in your future – sign up for this year’s Art of Leadership for Women conference in Toronto. Come and gain advice, insight and practical tips from leaders like: Martha Stewart; Hayley Wickenheiser; Katty Kay; Erica Ariel Fox; Liane Davey; and Wendy Mesley. The full-day event, held at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, invites you to network with other women seeking to maximize their effectiveness in addition to garnering knowledge from the speakers.
Let’s face it, despite all of the options open to women these days – telecommuting, owning an internet-based business and the ease of getting and transmitting information – life has not become easier. The result of all of these options often leaves women stressed to find a balance between working and family obligations. We always have a smart phone and it is hard to leave things as they pop up on your small screen. The result? No down time, great conversations with spouses and kids interrupted and a constant feeling of being “on.” Learn the tricks to turning off the world and finding some balance while adopting strategies that will move you forward.
This year’s topics are particularly relevant to all working women. Martha Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, will be addressing A Conversation on Leadership, Inspiration, Work/Life Balance & More. Learn first-hand Ms. Stewart’s triumphs and foibles on the path for forming her far-reaching brand. For every woman, hearing how someone else balances life, work and family can be not only life-changing, but inspirational.
Hayley Wickenheiser, Canadian Olympic hockey player, will offer Leadership lessons. As a four-time gold medal winner, she knows whereof she speaks. Hear how she managed to play professional hockey on an all male team in Europe. Learn why she believes it’s important to strive to go above and beyond, always.
Learn from the master, Katty Kay, Lead Anchor, BBC World News America, will be discussing The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance—What Women Should Know. Few women can say they carry self-assurance and confidence with them in all situations. Kay will emphasize specific measures women can take to achieve the level of success they desire.
Erica Ariel Fox, bestselling author of the books “Winning from Within” and “Harvard Law School Negotiation Lecturer,” kicks off the day discussing Personal Performance: Fulfilling your Destiny. Learn her seven-step method for widening your leadership range while closing the gap between your actual skills and your performance in high stress situations.
Last, but not least, Liane Davey will talk about You First: Make a Bigger Impact on Your Team. Specifically, she will explain mistakes women commonly make when working on a team. And, of importance to nearly all women, she explains how and when to say no so that you can say yes to things that truly matter.
Throughout the day you will have opportunities to network with other attendees as well as explore books and products offered by the day’s speakers and sponsors. Host, The Art Of, is a leading media and events company focused on providing business professionals with the tools, techniques and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s changing marketplace. The Art Of sponsors events throughout Canada.
