Standing up for yourself every day

“

- How important is it really to be a strong self-advocate at work? As an author and researcher, I've asked that question of dozens of women executives. And let me tell you, I'm wowed by the answer. Women in top ranks told me that 60% of a woman's career success hinges on her ability to advocate for herself. Now, you might be wondering, what do I mean by self-advocacy? I'm talking about making a bold proposal for a new direction. Asking for more resources or better pay. Even pushing back and saying no when you've been voluntold to take on another dead end assignment. I'm Selena Rezvani, author of Pushback: How Smart Women Ask and Stand Up for What They Want, and a women's leadership speaker. I've trained thousands of women on the art of being a fierce self-advocate. I'll teach you how to do it, too. In this course we'll explore lessons from my own career, and the successful women executives I've interviewed. And we'll take a look at real world scenarios you probably face where you can stand up for yourself and amplify your voice even more. Mind you, this isn't just about being louder. It's about a mix of proposing strong ideas, expecting and handling resistance, and pushing back for what's rightfully yours. A fierce self-advocate exercises her right to use her voice. She steps into her power. Join me for practices and tools to help you move forward. After all, power looks good on you.
