The Women of Womble Bond Dickinson (WOW) hosted a half-day professional development seminar followed by an evening of internal networking and mentoring. The Jan. 24 event took place in Womble Bond Dickinson’s Raleigh office and the workshop was led by internationally recognized author, speaker and leadership expert Becky Shambaugh.
During the workshop, Shambaugh discussed how women can step up as leaders without sacrificing their authenticity or losing their uniquely valuable perspectives. She also broke down many aspects of executive presence and challenged participants to develop their leader brands. Shambaugh also shared trends and stories around leadership today and key strategies and techniques to bolster confidence and increase competence while having a greater impact at large.
Shambaugh’s workshop was followed by an equity partner reflection panel where seasoned partners Liz Arias and Chris Douglas provided mentoring advice and feedback based on the themes discussed in the workshop. The session was wrapped by inspirational takeaways observed by the firm’s Vice Chair, Ellen Gregg.
The session was the second in this series of WOW leadership workshops. The first took place in Sept. 2018 in the firm’s Northern Virginia office.
