Inspired Innovators: Sally Helgesen and How Women Rise
The University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center and the Maine Business School will be hosting a virtual webinar featuring Sally Helgesen on April 12 from 1-3 pm. The event titled How Women Rise: Changing the habits that can hold you back from reaching your full potential is free to attend, but you must register in advance.
Sally Helgesen is cited in Forbes as the world’s premier expert on women’s leadership. She is an internationally best-selling author, speaker, and leadership coach. She is ranked number 6 among the world’s top 30 leadership thinkers by Global Gurus and number one coach for women leaders by Thinkers50/100 Coaches.
This is the third event in the Inspired Innovators lecture series, produced by the University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center with support from the Maine Business School, the University of Maine Graduate School of Business, the University of Maine School of Law, and the University of Southern Maine’s Muskie School of Public Service. The event is geared toward women in the early stages of their career but will also be helpful for men seeking to become better allies in the workplace.
Bangor Savings Bank, BerryDunn, MEMIC, and MMG Insurance are graciously sponsoring this world-class event, which will feature live coaching sessions between Helgesen and three participants from the sponsoring businesses.
“We are grateful to our sponsors for making this event possible and are excited to welcome participants who are working, those in courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels across the University of Maine System, and members of the community,” says Faye Gilbert, Ph.D., Executive Dean of the Maine Business School and Interim Dean of the Graduate School of Business. “We should all be learning and encouraging each other to assist in reaching our potential so that the state of Maine and its people continue to thrive. I hope you will join us and use the information provided to make a difference in your career.”
Helgesen’s most recent book, How Women Rise, co-authored with Marshall Goldsmith, is the basis of this webinar. The book became the best-seller in its category within a week of publication and has been translated into 17 languages.
