“Supporting Women – Building corporate cultures for women to thrive”

Presented By: Rumeet Billan

What prevents us from creating workplaces for women to thrive?

We’ve all seen it happen – a woman achieves something and others around her attack, ostracize, resent or cut down her success.  This is referred to as the Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS).  A shocking 87.3% of Canadian women have experienced TPS.

Join Dr. Rumeet Billan as she explains the Tall Poppy Syndrome and the impact it has on women in the work force.

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn to identify and recognize TPS
• Learn to recognize the harmful actions and words that fuel TPS
• Learn how to create and shape professional interactions, cultures and communities that embrace successful and high-achieving women
• Identify and prepare actionable steps and strategies that target TPS
