The\u00a0guest speaker, Dr Jane Lewis\u00a0outlined findings from recent research about alternative ways\u00a0to operate from a more woman-friendly paradigm of resilience, without reducing our effectiveness and leadership strengths, and will share how she has applied these in her own coaching practice working with women leaders.\u00a0 Jane also discussed why women are 4 times more likely to burn out than men and why when we step into superwoman mode it is simply not sustainable, particularly if we are also bringing up a family or have a caring role outside work.<\/p>\n
In advance of the Reflections event, Jane invited those who attended, to take a quick profiling questionnaire to understand their preferred leadership style using a model which may seem unfamiliar, but is potentially profound. This profiling tool has been used now with some 3,000 women worldwide, and is proving extremely valuable for them in developing an effective, credible way of consciously leading from the feminine.<\/p>\n
Seven members of the University of Kent attended the session and\u00a0very positive feedback\u00a0was received about the lecture and that they\u00a0had an\u00a0opportunity to take part in the Women’s Power Type test prior to the event. The topic itself created a lively and fruitful dialogue around the room among the participants.<\/p>\n
