Corporate Chess: Master the Rules. Meet The Players. Play to Win.

Navigating the corporate world is similar to playing a high-level game of chess.  It requires not only career strategies and technical proficiency, but also a sophisticated understanding of relationships and their limitations.

Managing all of these moving pieces in addition to a full-time job can be daunting, to say the least. And for many women, these challenges are compounded by a lack of access to inside information that could help them improve their professional prospects.

My session, Corporate Chess, will help participants make sense of the corporate world and more effectively manage their corporate careers by providing insight into the: i) "unspoken rules" of corporate contexts, ii) key people/personalities at work, and iii) successful strategies for career advancement.  After getting acquainted with the underpinnings of corporate success, participants will apply their knowledge to hypothetical workplace situations.

I am thrilled to be participating in Forte's 2009 MBA Women's Conference, and encourage you to come by for one of the sessions (morning or afternoon).
