MBA Women's Conference 2009

When I was invited to be a panelist at the Forte MBA Women’s Conference last year I was delighted. Last year’s experience was fabulous. I have given many talks but I was pleasantly surprised at the level of candor from the participants. This, of course, made for a wonderful session.When I was invited back this year as a speaker, I readily accepted.

This year I will hold a session (You Have Accepted the Position, Now What?) on what to do after you have accepted your job offer. The talk is based on my book, Lessons From a Recovering Worker Bee, and will provide the insight and tools to help achieve career success while maintaining work-life balance.

Some of the topics to be covered are:

- asking for what you want
- succeeding in the workplace even when the unexpected happens and,
- tooting your own horn

The session will help participants navigate the roadblocks that can occur in the workplace. In the current economic environment, some think that maintaining the status quo will ensure job retention; this is false. Now, more than ever, it is important to work intelligently and be noticed.

If last year's Forte MBA Women's Conference is any indication of what to expect, this conference should be a fabulous learning experience for everyone! The opportunity for networking and learning are great and I am looking forward to seeing you all.
