Presentation Title: "Redefining Success - Coming to Recognize and Appreciate the Joy of a Worthwhile Job Done Well"
About Our Program: Why is it that so few women - businesswomen, professional women, career women -- are reluctant to call themselves "successful?" Perhaps there is something in the word "success" that prohibits us from embracing it as being descriptive of us. Women far too often fall into the trap of believing that "success" is a definition bestowed upon us by others, and that in order to be successful we must meet certain goals that fall outside of the norm of our experiences in life and in business. But, maybe we can learn to recognize that the work we do, in the home and outside of it, is important. And an important job done properly entitles a person to say that she is successful. Maybe we can come to understand that accomplishing what needs to be done and acting when action needs to be taken is the definition of success. And if we allow ourselves to recognize that success, maybe we can also allow ourselves to revel in it. This talk will examine ways in which professional women can increase their happiness and productivity by allowing themselves to define their lives and careers as "successful."
