Description: Women are underrepresented in public safety and particularly in leadership positions. There are external factors that play a role in this, but the core of this presentation will examine the unconscious actions and beliefs that can hinder women’s development and success in our chosen profession. We will explore how imposter syndrome stifles women’s careers and how to overcome the feeling that they’re not quite ready for that promotion or project. Learn how to overcome the daily battle with the inner critic that reinforces insecurities and how speech and body language can dictate how women are perceived. We will also discuss power, relationships, perfectionism, mentoring and how we can all better support the women in our organizations and our lives.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn some of the ways implicit is formed and how it affects women in the workplace.
Participants will be able to describe the purpose behind the inner critic and how to develop an inner coach instead.
Supervisors will be able to list ways to help women develop into the leaders we need today.
Participants will be able to list different ways to recruit, retain, and develop women leaders.
Participants will be able to list ways women hold themselves back and the reasons behind them.
