Welcome - Ann Campbell, DEO Business Analytics Kerri Nelson We will discuss how perceptions form our reality and the results of those choices early on.

Introduction - Kristy Walker, Business Analytics Beth Livingston Gender and gendered norms are everywhere at work, in the experiences we have, the people we work with, and that data we analyze and collect. In this presentation, Professor Livingston talks about what gender norms are, what the data says, and what it means for men and women at work. |
| 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. |
Introduction - Kris Arens, Business Analytics Christine Holmes What makes a POWERful female leader? How can you strive to be the best version of yourself, personally and professionally? EY's executive coaching team leveraged the findings from the hundreds of women we've coached and determined five main focus areas. These focus areas are based on years of experience coaching women and observing key behaviors that can either diminish or build power. By choosing to focus on these select areas, we can accelerate success for ourselves and shape the way we help others! |
