Women of Achievement are Breaking Barriers

July 8, 2020

Congratulations to this year’s Women of Achievement! Their stories are varied but each are fueled by a powerful motivation of purpose and passion. Join us on Tuesday, July 28th at 4:30 to honor and meet them all virtually. The event is FREE to all but registration is required.

This year’s event headliner is Cleveland Cavalier Assistant Coach Lindsay Gottlieb who joined the Cavs in 2019. While not the first NBA female assistant, she is the first to make the jump from head college coach to pro bench. Lured from Cal Berkley’s women’s program with a stellar 179-89 record, it was a leap of significant proportion for the woman who embraces player development and a culture of winning basketball habits.

Joining Gottlieb for a fireside style chat will be the Cav’s Fox 8 sideline reporter Angel Gray , herself a four-year collegiate basketball player for the Florida State Seminoles. Ms. Gray will probe the heart and mind of Coach Gottlieb, to teach us the power of confidence, the truthful reality and risk of pivotal decisions, and ultimately the process of moving on from success to new ventures.

In the next few weeks, there will be announcements and chats with winners. Watch the upcoming announcements of the Laura Allio Emerging Leader to debut this Thursday, July 9th on Facebook live at 1:00pm. Stay tuned for more to come on our Facebook and LinkedIn pages!

Negotiating With Strength

Roxanne Kaufman Elliott, The Leadership Challenge

Effective and successful negotiation is a combination of art and science. The art of negotiation comes from within. It is self-leadership. It is knowing our strengths and values. Is knowing what we (really) want and knowing what they (really) want. It is having the self-confidence and a vision to communicate, collaborate and coordinate a positive outcome for all involved. It is putting our personal brand front and center with strength, savvy and poise, while being thoughtful, understanding, present, persuasive and engaged.

The Negotiating with Strength program has been specifically designed for the Women’s Network Leadership Institute. The program consists of four, 3-hour sessions. Each of the sessions build upon the previous sessions and each are highly interactive with a combination of engaging exercises, discussions, video, small group activities and breakouts, self-assessments, case studies, practice sets, brainstorming and more. The movie “Secretariat” is used as a baseline reference point in the art and science of effective negotiation, as is the alignment to the Clifton Strengths Finder Assessment.
