As is generally known, women are underrepresented in a number of stages of the corporate pipeline, including in executive positions. One potential contributing factor to this underrepresentation is that women have intrinsically different negotiating styles from their counterparts. Hosted by Edmonton Women in Finance’s professional subcommittee, join Lynette Tremblay, an advocacy expert, who will offer practical tips, strategies, and approaches with respect to how women can improve their negotiating skills in professional environments. Hors D’oeuvres will be served, and one drink ticket will be provided upon arrival. *This is an 18+ event. Date: Wednesday, November 20, 2024 Time:4:30pm-7:30pm MST Location: The Common - 9910 109st Nw Edmonton. RSVP on Eventbrite: http://bit.ly/3UAfEEz

🌟 Mentorship programs support successful succession planning. Here are a few tips to get the most out of your mentorship program. 🌟 Mentorship is not just for new employees; include senior employees in the conversation. Tenured staff may find their career growth stuck but hesitate to ask for support. Proactively offering mentorship can help them improve their skills and advance to the next level. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or mentee, please visit https://lnkd.in/gvP_YGzM for more details about the Student Mentorship Program and the Professional Mentorship Program. We welcome mentors of all genders. #Mentoring #SuccessionPlanning #CareerDevelopment
