Nice article on our recent Women's Leadership Conference in The Acorn:
Women's conference stresses leadership
Shards of crystal, symbolizing the breaking of the glass barrier that keeps women from top level corporate jobs, served as an apt emblem for the recent Academy Women's Leadership Conference.
Printed on conference brochures and notebooks, the logo represented the difficulty women often face when trying to break into the top echelons of corporate America.
Although most of the conference's keynote speakers were female, a panel of male executives also offered insights into business management.
The organizers and panelists at the Sherman Oaks conference shared wisdom, strategies and stories of their rise to top jobs without having compromised their core values.
Lois Phillips, a management consultant, conference speaker and co-author of "Women Seen and Heard: Lessons Learned from Successful Speakers," and Fran Lotery, a consultant, executive coach, speaker and co-author of "Live Inside Out-Not Upside Down," co-chaired the event.
Marcy Carsey, a producer best known for hit television shows such as "The Cosby Show," "Roseanne," "Grace Under Fire" and "That '70s Show," and founding partner with Oprah Winfrey of the Oxygen network, was among the 11 keynote speakers.
Phillips discussed leadership with Carsey and Patty DeDominic, CEO of two companies-PDQ Careers and Executive Search.
