Open to men and women, this provocative presentation by Valerie Alexander is bound to challenge many of your basic assumptions about how to navigate the workplace. In her provocative book, Valerie writes candidly about how she believes “female” instincts often get in the way of women's success and what she believes women can do to talk the language of success and then to walk the talk.

This topic will be useful to a broad audience given the tremendous diversity in today’s work environment across genders, ages, professional etiquettes and expectations.
