2.  WOMEN ─ BUSINESS LEADERSHIP ─ BUSINESS RESULTS

Thriving in the Gap between Natural Female Style and Business Demands

 How does a woman manager survive and thrive with the demands of being a business leader?  How does she adapt to the male model necessary for getting and keeping top organizational jobs? How can she use her natural strengths to increase organizational productivity and profit?  And -- how can she keep herself whole while performing a top organization job?

 Current research from UCLA is shedding new light on how female management styles are different than those of men.  Researchers are showing that female leadership styles may be more in tune with the evolving need for heightened team performance and the ability to effectively motivate and operate through national and global trans-organizational structures. This research shows what many of us women have known for years:  that women’s chemistry acts differently under stress than that of men’s.  Men’s brains release testosterone while a women release oxytoxin.  What this means is that women are more naturally skilled in five dimensions of leadership, which we refer to as:

Cultivation

Outreach

Power Use

Intuitiveness

Communication across Silos

 The Training Advantage has designed a seminar to help professionals understand more about the female and male styles of management.  It is designed to help women appreciate the richness of their natural leadership styles and better understand the gap between that and the male model of leadership.  We guide them to “walking” the gap while learning ways to take their natural skill set to the next level.  Female managers will learn how to create more connection to their own needs, maintain a balanced life while performing at peak levels.  The reality is – that without this holistic balance, managers never truly achieve peak performance

The program format is 2 hours given in breakfast, lunch, or standard classroom format.  It includes a pre and post ROI assessment connecting seminar results to the bottom line plus a half-day of our “Drive-Through Coaching” to reinforce learning.
