McKinsey Women's Event
Monday, September 22, 2008, 4:00-6:00pm
McKinsey Boston Office - 75 Park Plaza, Suite 3. Located in Back Bay across the street from the Park Plaza Hotel.

The women of McKinsey & Company invited the members of NSUW to join us for a dialogue on leadership. The event took place on Monday, September 22nd. ( Please see details below).

The evening's program focused on "Centered Leadership" - a distinctive approach to developing female leaders. Centered Leadership was created as part of the North American Women's initiative at McKinsey, with roots in positive psychology, research on leadership, and interviews with women leaders from around the world. It evolved from the desire to understand what drives success for women and is designed to help women better cultivate the skills and mindsets needed on their journeys to become leaders. Its five themes form a holistic approach to leadership that sustains women as they take on increasingly challenging roles. These themes are:

-Meaning: finding your purpose and strengths and deploying them in your work to flourish
-Energizing: knowing where your energy comes from, how it is drained, and what you can do to manage it
-Framing: adopting a more constructive way to view your world, expanding your horizons, and gaining the confidence and resilience to move ahead
-Connecting: identifying who can help you grow and finding your place among them
-Engaging: finding your voice and taking ownership of your opportunities
