Free Webinar | International Women’s Day: Balancing Confidence and Likeability as a Woman in Audit

Walking the Tightrope: Balancing Confidence and Likeability as a Woman in Audit

Women in the auditing profession often face a double bind: displaying confidence and assertiveness can lead to being perceived as arrogant or overly aggressive, while being warm and collaborative can lead to being dismissed as weak or a pushover. This tightrope walk creates unique challenges for women trying to build careers, lead teams, and drive change in organizations.

This session will explore the societal biases that create this catch-22 and offer strategies for navigating these challenges effectively. Participants will leave with actionable tools to balance assertiveness and approachability while staying authentic and true to themselves.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand Gender Bias: Learn about the societal and workplace biases that contribute to the double standards women face in professional settings.
• Finding Your Balance: Discover practical techniques for balancing confidence with warmth to build trust, credibility, and influence without compromising authenticity.
• Effective Communication Strategies: Develop communication skills to assertively deliver your message while minimizing the risk of being misunderstood.
• Overcoming Implicit Bias: Learn how to recognize and address implicit biases in others and how to advocate for yourself and other women in your organization.
• Real-Life Examples and Tools: Hear real-life stories from women in auditing and gain tools for managing difficult perceptions while staying effective in your role.
