Kelly Spivey, former superintendent and author, will share insights about her new book, Take a Stand: Successful Traits of Female Leaders.   Why do men and women typically communicate, process, and problem solve differently? Research indicates that women are significantly under represented in top executive positions and are paid less than their male counterparts.   It is time to establish a healthy workplace culture where people are free to share their personal experiences about gender disparity issues and openly discuss the differences in leadership style. This book is written to create reflections about where women have been, where they are, and how they can define their futures.
