Advance Women At Work: Women's Leadership & Empowerment
Intended Audience: Customizable for entry-level female professionals to senior executives
Our gender identity determines how we approach work and professional relationships, but it also means employees who identify as women face a variety of specific challenges that can hold them back from achieving their potential. Women are held to a different set of standards (aka the ‘Double Bind’) that require them to communicate differently from their male counterparts. Women also face a lack of sponsorship and are often excluded or diminished through words and/or behaviors. At the same time, women are hungry to learn how to negotiate more effectively, advocate for themselves and share their most creative and innovative ideas without facing judgment or interruptions. When you help women navigate their internal roadblocks and external barriers, you achieve measurable and meaningful change. Countless research studies show faster decision-making and an increase in innovation. And women who feel empowered, heard and included are less likely to leave their jobs.
Informed by original research developed with behavioral scientists from Wharton and delivered via an applied-learning format, Advance Women at Work offers inspiring and actionable content to help women be more fearless at work and in life. We survey your team and then design an in-depth program focused on the “Fearless Fundamentals” of Confidence, Communication, Control, Connections and Courage. Your customized curriculum dives deepest into the biggest challenges, areas of need and growth opportunities. The combination of inspirational and actionable insights, exercises and small group work results in mindset and behavioral changes that accelerate advancement while driving better business results.
Attendees will leave with:
-
An understanding of what’s holding them back and strategies to overcome personal roadblocks
-
More confidence and a plan for developing necessary skills and strategies to fulfill their mission
-
Methods to communicate more assertively to enhance credibility and impact
-
A roadmap to advance their careers by developing a Personal Board of Directors
-
And much more… depending on your team’s specific needs

Advance Women At Work: Manager Training for Next Generation Leaders
Intended Audience: Customizable for mid to senior-level female managers and executives
In this age of transformation and disruption, leading with purpose and without fear is critical to thriving. Female leaders are uniquely positioned to succeed given inherent feminine strengths, including EQ and social-relational skills. But they still face a myriad of internal and external barriers that hold them back from achieving their potential. Research shows they are less likely to interrupt others as they share their ideas, but they are more likely to be interrupted. Women are more prepared, yet avoid taking risks because they are afraid they are not prepared enough. They are social but less inclined than men to form strategic networking relationships. They lift each other up, but consistently struggle to advocate for themselves.
This Level II workshop explores these contrasts and offers valuable insights, skills, and alternative strategies to help attendees accelerate their success. The training is relevant for every modern female leader, whether their purpose is to break through that glass ceiling to effect meaningful change, build their own business, or align their current company to purpose.
Attendees will leave with:
-
A roadmap to identify their purpose
-
Real business examples of how world-class leaders and companies are driving innovation
-
Techniques for reducing bias and interruptions in the workplace
-
Strategies to leverage strategic alliances and relationships that help advance their mission
-
A tactical plan to apply what they’ve learned so they can inspire and lead from the inside out

Allyship & the Modern Male Leader: How to Build a Culture of Inclusion and Empowerment
Intended Audience: Male professionals and leaders
Cultivating an inclusive culture is a top priority for ‘modern leaders,’ but it is easier said than done. Sexual harassment and unconscious bias training are just the first steps in creating an organization where everyone can thrive equally. Male executives and managers are expected to build collaborative cultures that drive innovation, engagement, loyalty, and the bottom line, but they aren’t given a playbook on how to make that happen. Until now.
In this helpful, supportive, and non-judgmental program, we provide 'the good guys' with an insider’s look at the top growth barriers for women, the science behind it, and what they can and should do, to achieve gender equity. We help the men in your organization tackle the necessary attitudinal, operational, and behavioral changes, including topics like non-promotable work, the double bind, the broken rung, microaggressions, and meeting interruptions, among others. Your team will learn new strategies to help female reports and colleagues be more empowered and effective while promoting an inclusive culture.
Attendees will leave with:
-
Knowledge of the top factors holding women back from achieving their potential and what they can do about it

A better understanding of the Gender Issue Spectrum--from harassment to microaggressions
-
A plan to shift how they operate across key leadership functions including talent recruitment, pay and promotion equity, culture and team dynamics
-
Simple methods to create a psychologically safe environment and encourage collaboration
Disability Inclusion: How to Build a Connected Culture for Employees of All Abilities
Intended Audience: General
People living with disabilities are the one type of marginalized group that traverses color, gender, sexual preference, age, and ethnicity. Disability inclusion is about more than accessibility; it’s about equality of opportunity and respect for the right for people with disabilities to preserve their identities. But it's not just good for humanity—it's good for business to develop a culture where everyone can thrive as new research shows that companies are profitable 4x faster when their teams include people with disabilities.
Progressive companies are now recognizing the importance of educating employees and prioritizing investment in this area to overcome attitudinal barriers and evolve corporate culture. This new keynote is a critical first step for organizations starting this journey to understand the value of disability inclusion, the challenges employees with disabilities may face, and how everyone can foster an inclusive, psychologically safe culture where all employees can thrive.
Attendees will walk away with new strategies to enhance:
-
Culture – Employees will recognize how a culture of inclusivity drives innovation, business growth, and productivity.
-
Confidence – Your team will know how to ‘fear less’ when working with colleagues, partners, and clients with disabilities, regardless of whether those disabilities are visible or invisible. We will address how living with a disability can cause Impostor Syndrome to surface and how that may manifest for employees with disabilities.
-
Communication – Everyone will understand best practices for communicating with employees who are blind, deaf, have low vision or hearing, or have mobility issues. That includes asking for the support they need if they are living with a disability or learning how to effectively communicate with disabled colleagues and partners.
-
Connection – Leaders will discover how they can engage and include employees across a spectrum of disabilities in all critical business decisions, from marketing and recruiting to facilities and communications.
-
Control – If you live with a disability, we will address ways you can take control of your environment to make it easier for your company and colleagues to support you and your goals.
Self-Leadership
Evict the Impostor: How to Overcome Impostor Syndrome and Improve Confidence
Intended Audience: General
Have you ever thought of yourself as a fraud or a fake, waiting for others to ‘find out’ that you aren’t really as smart or talented as everyone thinks you are? If you haven’t personally felt this way, your team members probably have. Impostor Syndrome affects the majority of women at work, but men struggle with it too. The vast majority of professionals secretly lack confidence at work, identify with one or more Impostor Syndrome types, and are hungry for strategies to overcome their own limiting beliefs. Imposter Syndrome holds high-performing, intelligent, and creative people back from achieving their potential and can wreak havoc on team dynamics. Those touched by the impostor wand withhold their best ideas, shy away from promotions, delay taking action, burn themselves out, and compromise the team. This workshop provides effective methods to build confidence and manage Impostor Syndrome so that together we can overcome roadblocks that prevent us from reaching our goals.
Attendees will leave with:
-
An understanding of how pervasive Impostor Syndrome is and why it matters
-
The ability to identify various Impostor Syndrome types and how to manage each one
-
Strategies to improve their own mindset and behaviors
-
Methods for managing team members who suffer from low self-confidence or Impostor Syndrome
-
A plan to build an ongoing Confidence Catalog™ to thrive in the face of self-doubt
As a Licensed Associate of the Impostor Syndrome Institute, Wet Cement can also deliver the Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™ training, developed by the award-winning researcher and author Dr. Valerie Young. Learn more about this proven program.
Build Your Personal Board of Directors: How to Advance at Work Through Allies and Advocates
Intended Audience: General
The relationships you forge along the road to success can have a tremendous impact on your professional growth. Research shows that men are more likely to build sponsor and mentor relationships to help them navigate tricky political situations at work and position themselves for promotions. All too often women are told “they should find a mentor or sponsor’ but aren’t sure where to begin or how to do this in an authentic way. The result is that women are ‘slipping’ on the proverbial “broken rung” and not promoted at the same rate as their male colleagues.
This valuable and actionable workshop makes it easy for women to map out a plan of who can help them on their professional journey and how to build those win-win relationships. Attendees will identify the critical role sponsors, mentors, peer thought partners, allies, and protégées play in supporting their careers. Participants recognize their personal career growth needs, learn the value that each member of a personal board can provide, and build a network of trusted partners who will share a vested interest in their future.
Attendees will leave with:
-
An understanding of how a personal Board of Directors can help them meet their career goals
-
A clear view of their top developmental priorities and the ‘gifts they have to give to mentor others
-
A roadmap of how to identify each type of board member and the role he/she plays
-
Strategies to help them approach potential advocates and win their support
Network Like a Natural: How to Build Connections and Thought Leadership
Intended Audience: General audience
If you would rather have a root canal than attend a networking event, you’re missing out on critical opportunities to identify allies, build your personal brand and connect with potential customers/clients and seasoned executives who can help accelerate your career. Are you afraid of selling yourself, seeming inauthentic, or facing rejection? Do you struggle with conversation starters? If so, this workshop is designed for you.
We begin by shedding the fear--breaking down the barriers that foster discomfort, anxiety, and insecurity. Next, we review actionable strategies to overcome those roadblocks and make it easy to unleash the fearless networker within so you can build authentic win-win relationships based on trust, commonalities, and support. Finally, we craft a three-pronged strategic plan that empowers participants to maximize networking opportunities at work, at industry events and conferences, and online through social media. Even the savviest of networkers will benefit from fresh strategies to create a proactive Networking Plan that becomes a daily pursuit vs an event-specific task.
Attendees will leave with:
-
A purposeful Networking Plan to execute online and in-person
-
Techniques to forge new, mutually beneficial connections and refresh existing relationships
-
Methods to engage allies and unite others to advance their mission – and have fun along the way
How to Achieve Work/Life Balance and Find Your Joy
Intended Audience: General
Women often struggle to keep all the balls in the air—balancing work, family, busy social lives, household duties, and self-care while striving to pursue what gives us the most meaning and happiness. With so much on our plates, it is difficult to prioritize what matters most when our “to-do” list is never-ending. The struggle is usually magnified during the busy holiday season when women generally shoulder the majority of non-promotable work in the office and at home, including gift-giving, party planning, and hosting.
This workshop helps participants develop a plan to achieve the elusive work/life equilibrium we all aspire to. Attendees develop their own Blue Sky Blueprint where they prioritize, formulate a strategy to say ‘no’ to low-priority demands, and explore ways to “outsource” personal needs to tip the scales in their favor. Finally, we’ll share easy-to-implement ideas on how to realize physical and emotional well-being.
Attendees will:
-
Identify and articulate their purpose to guide priorities
-
Map out a plan to achieve true balance and fulfillment in their lives
-
Learn how to maximize their time and minimize distractions

New Manager Playbook Program
Intended Audience: New Managers
Companies that thrive through adversity recognize that middle managers are responsible for some of the most mission critical activities within the organization--attracting and retaining talent, driving results, and creating an inclusive culture. These leaders translate your company's vision and mission into actionable goals that ensure success and accountability. Research shows most companies invest little in developing managers' skills and mindset, even though creating a common 'playbook' with a shared language and approaches returns exponential rewards. This comprehensive 6-part program focused on our core fundamentals facilitates building a team of empowering, empathetic and inclusive managers.
Attendees learn:
-
Confidence: How to step into their new role and establish their leadership style while understanding and overcoming Impostor Syndrome in their team and themselves.

-
Control: How to take control of Performance Management, from setting strategy and expectations to developing Individual Development Plans to support career growth. We tackle time management and proactive prioritization for themselves and their direct reports plus maximizing the impact and efficiency of 1:1s and team meetings.
-
Connections: How to build a strategic network to accelerate growth for themselves and their team. We address personal brand building and thought leadership internally and externally. The material also focuses on building a pipeline to attract, retain and cultivate high-performing talent.

Courage: Methods to courageously deliver direct and valuable feedback while effectively managing up and across the organization. They'll learn how to delegate and advocate for their team's needs.
-
Culture: We review different approaches to cultivating talent while fostering culture and collaboration, including team-building activities, recognizing and celebrating success, and helping employees find purpose and meaning in their work.

CONFIDENCE: How to Overcome Impostor Syndrome and Improve Confidence
Have you ever thought of yourself as a fraud or a fake, waiting for others to ‘find out’ that you aren’t as smart or talented as everyone thinks you are? If you haven’t personally felt this way, your team members probably have. Impostor Syndrome affects most women at work, but men struggle with it too. The vast majority of professionals secretly lack confidence at work – especially as they are promoted and/or transition into new roles. Imposter Syndrome holds high-performing, intelligent, and creative people back from achieving their potential and can wreak havoc on team dynamics. Those touched by the impostor wand withhold their best ideas, delay taking action, burn themselves out, and compromise the team. We will dig into the various Impostor Syndrome ‘competence types’ and understand which ones you identify with then develop strategies for overcoming these triggers. We will also address methods for managing team members who suffer from low self-confidence and how to create a culture that minimizes Impostor Syndrome.
COMMUNICATION: How to Speak and Present with Power
The most effective, engaging communicators are masters of presence, message, and delivery. We help you understand communication pitfalls and adopt methods to develop storytelling and narrative development, engage customers and colleagues through reflexive listening, and improve verbal and non-verbal communication. We will conduct a ‘role-play’ session for an important upcoming presentation or meeting, then deconstruct what could be ‘leveled up’ across 40 dimensions. You will receive detailed feedback along with a plan that includes areas of focus to become a more ‘confident communicator.’
CONNECTION: Build Your Personal Board of Directors
The relationships you forge along the road to success can have a tremendous impact on your professional growth. Research shows that men are more likely to build sponsor and mentor relationships to help them navigate tricky political situations at work and within the industry. All too often women are told to “find a mentor or sponsor” but aren’t sure where to begin or how to do this authentically. Together, we map out a plan of who can help you on your professional journey and how to build those win-win relationships. You will identify your personal career growth needs and build a network of trusted partners who will share a vested interest in your future.

Next, we review actionable strategies to overcome those roadblocks and make it easy to unleash the fearless networker within so you can build authentic win-win relationships based on trust, commonalities, and support. Finally, we craft a three-pronged strategic plan that empowers you to maximize networking opportunities at industry events and conferences, and online through social media.
CONTROL: How to Achieve Work/Life Balance and Find Your Joy
In today's always-on world, most of us struggle to keep all the 'balls in the air'—balancing work, family, social lives, household duties, and self-care while striving to pursue what gives us the most meaning and happiness. With so much on our plates, it is difficult to prioritize what matters most when our “to-do” list is never-ending. We will develop a plan to achieve the elusive work/life equilibrium we all aspire to by creating your own Blue Sky Blueprint that helps you prioritize, formulate a strategy to say ‘no’ to unnecessary or low-priority demands, and explore ways to “outsource” asks to tip the scales in your favor. We will also review your physical and emotional well-being goals and jointly develop plans to make them a reality.
CULTURE: How to Build an Inclusive Culture Together
Collaborative cultures drive innovation, engagement, loyalty, and the bottom line. But while cultivating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive equally is a priority for most leading organizations, there is no ‘playbook’ for understanding and embracing equity, until now. We will examine the internal and external barriers holding you (and your colleagues) back from achieving your potential based on the culture at work. We explore workplace realities like non-promotable work, the double bind, the broken rung, microaggressions, and meeting interruptions, among other challenges. You will learn new strategies to navigate, respond to and avoid some of these common workplace issues that can stunt your effectiveness at work.
