As we face challenging times, leadership skills and abilities are challenged. However, there are some lessons to be learned from some of the women in our past that inform how to lead now.
This session will focus on the difference in leadership approaches in the stories of:
1. Christine di Pizan- Sophisticated late Medieval author who used her knowledge of the aristocracy and court practices to challenge misogyny
2. Madame Clicquot- entrepreneur in wartime France, famous now for her champagne
3. Harriet Tubman- liberator and leader of the Underground Railroad
4. Frances Perkins- First woman in a Presidential Cabinet, Secretary of Labor under FDR
Patricia Ronan will highlight differences in leadership approaches in the stories of four specific women. Patricia Ronan is an experienced state and federal litigator who has represented clients in matters involving employment discrimination, contracts, advertising, and financial fraud. Patricia considers litigation a mechanism to move past broken relationships, preserve boundaries between parties, and protect rights. Often, Patricia is able to negotiate constructive solutions for her clients without resorting to court action. In addition to her law degree, Patricia holds a graduate degree in history from the University of Cambridge.
