Educational Series kicks off with "Gender Matters"
|
Popular speaker Dr. Susan Kellogg returns once again to kick off our 2016-2017 Educational Series, professional development opportunities for Chamber members.
This year, Dr. Kellogg will present "Gender Matters." If we do not recognize and appreciate the differences between men and women in terms of how we think, approach problem solving, and take in new information, then we are doomed as managers and administrators. It is important to recognize differences and, wherever possible, to learn how to utilize differences in resolving some of the most complex problems facing our corporate world. Dr. Kellogg will share some of the research that she has been conducting on how men and women understand the world differently and why those different perspectives are so important.
If you have attended workshops conducted by Dr. Kellogg, then you know that she is not only thoroughly researched and current in her content, but she is also entertaining and engaging.
