Brio Leadership

At Brio Leadership, we are focused on helping you grow your business by building a great company culture. Kristin Robertson, our president, enjoys presenting her values-based business philosophy to groups of leaders. She can attend your organization or off-site meeting and lead an educational session on the following topics: · "Lean In" Isn't Enough: Unconscious Bias and What to Do About It The days of the TV show "Mad Men", which describes the sexist office culture of Madison Avenue in the 1960's, are over - or are they? Today, unconscious gender bias is pervasive and embedded in the systems, structures and cultures of most of our organizations. Researchers call this second generation gender bias, and it operates unseen, beneath the consciousness of both men and women. In this presentation, we'll explore what unconscious bias is and its negative consequences for companies. Most importantly, we'll talk about how the "Lean In" advice, which urges women to conform to the existing norms workplace, is a good start but isn't enough. Instead, women must build on our own leadership strengths, be heard and work with our organizations to change the systems that are unfriendly to our characteristics. Come to this presentation to learn how!
