Opening Speaker - Jo Miller

Strategic Self-Leadership
Women who break through into high-level leadership roles have overcome “The Emerging Leader’s Paradox”:

You can’t get a higher level job without experience, but you can’t get leadership experience without the job.

So how does one break out, and establish a reputation as an up-and-coming leader?

Join Jo Miller, CEO of Women’s Leadership Coaching Inc, as she describes proven strategies modeled after women who have broken through into executive leadership, including:

• Ways to position yourself as a leader, regardless of your current job
• The importance of conferring leadership upon yourself
• How to walk, talk think and act like a leader every day
