Learning Objective: Increase professional and leadership confidence and competence Description: We all expect to be judged on our merits at work and to be recognized for our accomplishments, our unique talents, insights, and efforts. But how often does that happen? Recent research shows minorities fill a small percentage of executive-level jobs and corporate board seats and many experts believe that a major cause is the lack of confidence. “Confidence is a learned skill.... you must learn to be audacious, to be willing to put yourself out there. You’ve got to dare to take some risks.” Learn from the experts about what risks to take and how taking them with confidence can lead to a successful rise up the corporate ladder.
