Soundview to Host Interactive Webinar with Andrea Kramer & Alton Harris

PHILADELPHIA - Aug. 2, 2016 - PRLog -- Women define career success in a wide variety of ways. But whatever a woman's personal definition, if she is in a traditionally male-dominated career—virtually all high status, highly compensated fields—her career is at risk because of pervasive gender stereotypes.

In this Soundview Live webinar, Communication Techniques for Women in the Workplace,

Andrea S. Kramer and Alton B. Harris present unique, practical, and effective advice about how women can at last break through gender bias in the workplace and win at the career advancement game.

You Will Learn:

•          About the need to be attuned to the negative gender stereotypes that surround women.

•          An integrated set of communication techniques that women can use to avoid the   discriminatory consequences of stereotypes.

•          To understand that women don't need to change who they are to succeed in their chosen careers.
