Portia Mount, vice president and global leader of strategic marketing at Ingersoll Rand, is passionate about women’s leadership issues and helping women succeed. During this special spotlight session, Portia will share a snapshot on the landscape for women in leadership and the gaps she saw in career advice literature that lead her to write Kick Some Glass: 10 Ways Women Succeed at Work on Their Own Terms. During this engaging session Portia will focus on some key themes from her book, such as learning why understanding your values is key to having a sense of purpose and the choices and tradeoffs you'll make. She’ll also explore mentorship and why women tend to miss out on sponsorship – and what to do about it. You’ll also learn the three kinds of networks you need to advance your career. This is a leadership session you will not want to miss.
