Goodbye Amelia Island! Goodbye Ritz Carlton! And, goodbye ladies of the Women’s Leadership Institute ’10! I will miss you all!
It has been a rejuvenating and inspirational conference! I am looking forward to returning home with new ideas and insights. Here are some of the highlights I’m taking away:
3 Mistakes Women Make
(from Lynne Gangone’s session on Reframing Power and Leadership)
1. Minimizing your work or position
2. Apologizing
3. Taking up too little space
3 Resume Writing Tips
(from my conversation with Ellen Heffernan of SJG-The Spelman & Johnson Group)
1. Include responsibilities and accomplishments under your position title
2. Include a 2-sentence description of your institution to provide context
3. Quantify any supervision, advising or collaboration with students or faculty
3 Examples of When Not to Have a Difficult Conversation
(from Melanie Hawks’ session on Difficult Conversations)
1. It’s mostly about you
2. There’s another, better way
3. You just need to vent
There was a lot of great information presented over the past few days, and I hope I can continue to retain and revisit it.
(I ran into Mrs. Claus and one of her helpers on the last day.)
If you were at the conference, what was your greatest take away?
