How do you step up to be heard while being respectful? How do you stop sexist language or comments from a colleague? How do you respond when someone says, “Lighten up, it was just a joke”?
You are invited to join the Women's Philanthropic Leadership Circle as we Dare to be Powerful with Peg Lonnquist, Ph.D., director of the U of M Women's Center.
In this interactive workshop, participants increase their knowledge of women’s status today, and practice assertive bystander interventions leaving with concrete tools to be more effective allies!
