This series has reached capacity and is closed for registration.

Five Weekly Classes Starting Tuesday October 22nd

Discussion Leader and Coach: Cynthia Harrington, CFA

Chair: Stephanie Luh, CFA

 

When Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In came out just last March, it rocketed to #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list.  The career advances for women seemed to have stalled out, and Sheryl Sandberg sounded a clarion call to energize continued growth.  The book has been generating lively discussions and arguments ever since.

One of the points of heated debate is “so what?”  We may still face challenges, but what exactly do we do about it?  It is nice to hear that we should lean in, sit at the table, and climb a jungle gym, not a ladder.  But exactly how does one do these actions to accomplish goals?

The CFALA Women’s Group is setting out to answer those questions in five-week series facilitated by executive coach Cynthia Harrington, CFA.  In each session, one of the prescriptions for career success from the book will be discussed, with step by step actions to achieve that goal resulting from each session.  These sessions will cover: Sit at the Table, Success and Likeability, It’s a Jungle Gym Not a Ladder, Are You My Mentor, Seek and Speak Your Truth, and Don’t Leave Before You Leave.  Using personal experiences, case studies, exercises, and advice from other successful women, the group will gain both action steps and confidence to carry these goals out.
