INNOVATION: What's Gender Got to Do with It?

Most people don't know that Gender Intelligence is a key to unlocking Innovation. In this seminar Men and Women will move outside "what we know" that keeps "the same" in place, to producing breakthroughs possible when a variety of perspectives collaborate.

You will become an agent for innovation which you will experience as increasing creativity, productivity, promotability (of yourself and others) and quality of life at work and at home.
