Women leaders have long been oppressed by patriarchal systems. Despite finding ways to navigate, rise above and occupy spaces that were previously held solely by white men, the blatant disregard of women leaders' qualities, talents and abilities continue in far too many organizations.
In her newly released book, Collaborative Confidence, Dr. Backstrom suggests three necessary pillars for women leaders to turn to and practice in an effort to bring about, individual, social and organizational change by "activating self-awareness, amplifying their authentic talents and accelerating working place change."
Tune in to learn invaluable tips for expanding as a woman leader. Also learn the definition of Dr. Backstrom's coined term, collaborative confidence, unpack the collaborative confidence pillars and understand the value of using your strengths to manage your weaknesses.
