Title: Can Parents Get Promoted?
Date: Thursday, December 13 at 10-11 am PT/1-2 pm ET (**NEW DATE**)
Can Career Advancement & Parenting Go Hand-in-Hand?
We've all heard about working moms and women leaders off-ramping or opting out of demanding jobs and work environments. Others don't seek or receive a promotion for roles they're likely ready for. Is this common? Is it just media noise or the way it really is, and does it have to be this way? Why should we care, and what can we do about it? Two guests from MENTTIUM, experts in mentoring and women's leadership development, join Lisa to share realities and mentoring stories related to these questions, and discuss how women can accelerate their careers and remain committed to the choices they've made for their families and themselves.
