Men and women alike will benefit from the examination of studies and personal experiences that uncover unconscious actions and beliefs that hold women back in the workplace.  This no-cost webinar, sponsored by the National Sheriff’s Association, will explore how imposter syndrome stifles women’s careers and how to overcome the feeling that women are not ready for that promotion or project.  Participants will learn how to overcome the daily battle with the inner critic that reinforces insecurities and how speech and body language can dictate how women are perceived.  Supervisors will also gain solutions and practical steps to develop their coworkers and organization for a more successful and diversified workforce.
