How do you achieve the persona of an influencer so that you are viewed as a strategic business leader rather than just a doer or achiever? In this session, based on the original work of Alex Lazarus, creator of the Doer. Achiever. Influencer. framework, the speakers will share their success stories and the lessons they have learned when navigating the nuances of being a woman at the top table. You'll explore how to effectively communicate your accomplishments, handle challenges, and push for your dream role. This framework is also featured in Alex's upcoming book, offering a structured approach to evolving your leadership presence.

Our speakers will candidly share their top tips and advice on negotiating new employment contracts. Women (as you know) are generalized as not being very good for speaking up about their pay. We never talk about finances – but why not?!
