PFIZER: Beyond the Charismatic Visionary

Thu, 22 Jul 2010

Beyond the Charismatic Visionary: Getting Things Done By Who You Are

Continuing with our offerings, Pfizer's CT Women's Network invites you to attend this workshop designed to better position you for leadership and career success.

Conventional wisdom proclaims that to lead successfully you must be a "charismatic visionary". For years, Leading Women's CEO Susan Colantuono has questioned this “wisdom”. Susan conducted research across a variety of organizations and with leaders at every level to discover how individuals successfully engage the greatness in others and how they get things done by being who they are. In this workshop, she will introduce you to the 5-C Engagement Strategies. You'll learn how to leverage the engagement strategies that you comfortably use and how to expand your repertoire of engagement behaviors. Join us to learn how as a leader, at any level, you can go beyond the charismatic visionary to be more successful.

Leading Women’s Susan Colantuono will address the ways to get the most from a mentor-protégé relationship. Learn about the unique roles of a mentor and protege, the 5 guidelines for creating an effective mentor/protégé relationship, explore the challenges and learning opportunities inherent in mentoring across differences.

You will learn:

1. Characteristics of the mentor/protégé relationship.

2. How to structure the relationship for maximum value.

4. How the mentor and protégé can best benefit from a mentoring relationship.

5. The importance of goals and measuring progress

MASS: How Women Relate To Each Other at Work with Anne Litwin, Ph.D

How Women Relate to Each Other at Work,

and What We Can Do to Improve Our Workplace Relationships

Breakthrough Research by

Anne Litwin, Ph.D.

presented by



For the most part, women work together well. While Individual experiences vary, many women have similar experiences of gender role expectations, preferences for how to communicate and how to get things done, and a history of operating in "a man's world." Yet the latest research clearly shows that many women struggle in their workplace relationships with other women. These struggles impact everything from communication and trust-building to efficiency and morale. It can be frustrating for women, and a bottom-line concern for employers.

Anne Litwin knows the reality of women at work. Her research into women's relationships and communication at work has revealed startling paradoxes that contribute to many women's negative experiences with each other in the workplace. Beyond the usual discussion of male norms at work, Litwin exposes key sources of confusion and misunderstanding between women colleagues, and offers powerful solutions and tools for preventing and resolving conflict that will reduce hostility, improve compatibility, and most importantly, increase efficiency and performance in the workplace.

Join us for this breakthrough research about women and work and what we can do to improve our workplace relationships.

PFIZER: Get in the Game- Network for Career Success

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

Get in the Game- Network for Career Success

Having a strong network of relationships, both inside and outside of Pfizer, is one of your most powerful business tools that can support your career advancement. Yet, when it comes to networking, many women choose to sit on the “sidelines”. If you are approaching networking without a strategy, you are probably not getting the most out of your networking efforts. But, sitting on the sidelines is not an option... not today!

In this mind-shifting workshop lead by Lisa Bergeron, President of Leading Women, you will learn new ways of thinking about strategic networking. You'll have a chance to identify the personal strengths that make your "net" work and shore up the areas that may need work.

Lisa will guide you through the "secret " strategies you might find in a successful networker's playbook.

You will:

1. Identify the purpose for your work web- it's not strategic if there's no bigger purpose.

2. Reframe Your Inner Game™ - tackle your mental hurdles.

3. Fuel your success - translate networking activities into results.

4. Find your authentic approach and learn to "pitch" with intention.

5. Lay the groundwork for successful interactions in a way that supports your goals & maximizes the relationships in your network!

This workshop is sponsored by Pfizer's CT Women's Network.

CT Leadership Series - Evening of Networking with Susan Colantuono

Tue, 24 Aug 2010

Lessons in Leadership and Evening of Networking with Leading Women Founder Susan Colantuono

Presented by

All of us dream of living a life and having a career with no limits or boundaries - aside from those we choose. That's what 15 amazing and incredibly diverse women have done - these women are F500 CEOs and their example offers life and leadership lessons that serve every woman well.

Drawing on their lessons, Susan Colantuono the CEO and Founder of Leading Women has written a new book that takes a fresh, unblinking look at leadership, explains why conventional wisdom about leadership takes women only so far and what we can do about it. No Ceiling, No Walls shines a light on what women haven't been told about leadership from career-start to the corporate boardroom.

Here's what advance readers are saying:

“Women at all career levels must incorporate the ideas in this thoughtful book on leadership. The future depends on women acknowledging that there is nothing holding them back from succeeding in business.” Vicki Donlan, author of HER TURN: Why It's Time for Women to Lead in America

“Colantuono’s book provides thoughtful coaching to women leaders, whether experienced or new to the workforce. Her wise and practical advice is a must-read for individuals who are determined to reach the next level of their careers."Anne Szostak, President & CEO of Szostak Partners and former chairman and CEO Fleet Bank Rhode Island

With a clarion call to leaders and practical advice about purpose, power and presence, Susan's no-nonsense and comprehensive insights guide audiences to more inspired and confident leadership...and more fulfilling careers.

Susan founded the Women's Institute for Leadership at Bryant University, was past director of the RI State Council of SHRM and has been honored by Providence Business News as Ally and Mentor for Business Women.

Event Fee: $45.00

Includes Dinner and Cash Bar.
