RESCHEDULED-Bonnie Marcus-Promote Yourself with Passion and Purpose:A New Approach to Self-Promotion

Why do women find it so difficult to promote themselves? We are taught at a young age to take the back seat and be humble, not to brag because people won't like us. Now we are professional women in the business world looking to build our businesses or advance our careers and taking the back seat does not work to our benefit. There are many consequences to taking the back seat in the business world. Perhaps you were passed over for a promotion or didn't get the funding you wanted to start your business. As women, we need to learn how to connect with our value and talent and create an authentic powerful message about who we are and what we do.
