Executive Leadership Workshop - Indianapolis

On May 14, 2015, the Women's Forum for Achievement of Faegre Baker Daniels hosted an exclusive leadership event for women in Indianapolis. More than 85 local women attended, developing personal strategies to reach new leadership horizons and networking with peers.

Executive women nationally will share this half-day experience as it travels across FaegreBD's U.S. locations over the next two years.

Program

Author, speaker and consultant Sally Helgesen presented a workshop on "The Female Vision: Women's Real Power at Work" - the competitive advantage of women's perspectives in today's global marketplace. Sally used original content, interactive exercises and powerful case studies to provide concrete, actionable practices for women seeking the next level of leadership.

The program concluded with inspirational remarks and a toast to strong women by Andrea Roberts Pierson, one of five women members of FaegreBD's 15-person management board.
