Instructor Catherine Neiner Director of University Career Services Georgia State University Course Highlights 1hr 15m of video instruction Downloadable resources Course Details Released 8/4/2020 Learning Outcome After participating in this two-hour workshop, you will be able to develop strategies in 4 key areas that will help you reduce the need to be liked by others and focus on building positive relationships with yourself and others. Overview Have you ever been labeled as “bossy, bitchy, or brazen” simply because you’re a woman with ideas and a voice that needs to be heard? Do you ever feel yourself holding back because you’re worried about what others will think about you? Cultural pressures often cause women to focus on being likeable. Although there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be liked, this need can limit a woman’s personal and professional growth. Learn how to take back control of the need to be liked. You will discuss and reflect on the social, economic, and political impact that likeability has on your career. You will brainstorm and develop strategies that will help you turn other people’s labels such as “bossy, bitchy, and brazen” into career-boosting descriptors such as “confident, credible, and competent.” You’ll walk away with a greater understanding of how to nurture your relationships so that your voice is respected and you can be in better possession of yourself as a leader. Who Should Attend This webcast is designed for women of all leadership levels who want to explore the connection between a woman’s likeability and her leadership. If you find yourself giving in to others in order to be liked or you feel that others perceive you in […]
Women who rise to top leadership positions in higher ed possess a unique skillset that helps them overcome adversity, build resilience, and lead authentically. Kas Metzler studied and interviewed 26 women presidents in California and found some interesting commonalities in how they rose into their roles. Not surprisingly, the link is how they used and honed their emotional intelligence as leaders. Join us online in this two-hour session and learn more about what emotional intelligence skillsets these California presidents have found most helpful in their career advancement. You’ll begin by taking a personal assessment that will help you identify your strengths and potential blind spots as a leader. You’ll then have the opportunity to brainstorm and discuss with other participants how these research findings can be applied to your own leadership journey, so that you walk away with at least two things you can start doing differently to nurture your emotional intelligence.

While there are some indications of how different things will look for admissions teams this cycle, now is the time to begin planning for various scenarios so that you are as prepared as possible for whatever the fall may bring. Admissions counselors typically have a “toolbox” that they can pull from throughout the enrollment funnel to effectively reach prospective students in the territories that they oversee. As we head into a summer and fall unlike any other, many of these traditional tools – like high school visits, coffee meetups, and college fairs – will need to be rethought. Admissions teams must consider how they can best serve the community they work with if traditional, in-person interactions are off the table. Join us and your peers online for a two-hour discussion and brainstorming session to help you re-prioritize your admissions toolbox. We will work together to audit your current toolbox, consider what changes might need to be made for this fall, and curate a list of strategies and ideas you can use to update your own admissions toolbox. Throughout the program, you will actively participate in large and small group discussions framed around the following questions: What should our priorities be […]
