Maribeth Kraus is a Career and Career Development Coach, Speaker and Continuing Education Instructor. She knows that when it comes to reaching the next step in their career business women:

  • Often experience self-inflicted blocks to their success that cause them to be overlooked for promotion.
  • Are being overlooked not because they aren’t completely capable but because they struggle with delegation, or trusting others to produce the same results they can.
  • End up doing everything themselves, further entrenching themselves into their current position.
  • Often become the bottleneck in their own career.

Maribeth’s clients get to know themselves better, break through these often self-imposed barriers, learn to delegate effectively, and become the leaders they want to be. By knowing their strengths and how to use the right tools effectively, they can do more, achieve more and be more and find that the possibilities are limitless in their careers and lives.

The Coach Approach:  How to Successfully Delegate and Become A 21st Century Leader

Overview:  In the 21st Century, business women need to be prepared and empowered to effectively lead a different and diverse workforce that has moved from the traditional top down management model to teams that offer more employee engagement.  A business woman needs to know her strengths and successfully delegate to and engage her teams in their work in order to become a 21st Century Leader.

Takeaway:  This presentation will help you to become a 21st Century leader:

  • Learn to acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses
  • Let go of traditional top down management
  • Replace the traditional management process
  • Successfully delegate so that you can lead rather than do it all

For:  Business women who are bright overachievers but who frequently imposes their own self-inflicted blocks to career success.  So, if you find yourself overlooked for promotions not because you aren’t capable, but because you struggle with delegation, or trusting others to produce the same results you can, you may end up doing everything yourself.  If you want to learn how to successfully delegate and move forward in your career rather than further entrenching yourself in your current position, this may be for you.
