This practical and interactive presentation focuses on tips, tools and exercises that will give women ways to push back on negative stereotypes, reclaim parts of the workplace experience that have been misunderstood and devalued, and work together to change workplace cultures to be more inclusive. Male participants will learn ways they can support work environments that truly value the contributions of both women and men. Participants will have the opportunity to raise questions during a Q&A.

Dr. Anne Litwin’s path-breaking new research, conducted in workplaces across the globe, reveals how the masculine, hierarchical culture of many organizations creates special challenges for women at all levels: executives, managers, employees.  These challenges are a major cause of frustration for many women, damage working relationships and friendships, derailing women leaders, and prevent women from bringing their best talents forward in the service of the organization.

Dr. Litwin reveals the startling paradoxes that generate these problems and offers powerful solutions and tools that result in better relationships and communication. Please join us as she guides us through her findings in New Rules for Women, her recently published book, detailing important new concepts in understanding the subtle—often invisible—gender dynamics that influence women's workplace relationships.

Lunch will be available starting at 11:45, and the speaker will begin presenting at noon.

Sponsored by the Association for Women Faculty and Professionals, the Center for Faculty Excellence, the Faculty Committee on the Status of Women, the Faculty Committee on Community and Diversity, the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, the School of Medicine Academic Affairs Office, WISDOM, the Carolina Women’s Center, and, in the College of Arts and Sciences, the WOWS Scholars Program and Office of Faculty Diversity Initiatives.
