It’s a question we hear over and over. Why the lack of females in the board room?
Risk taking is essential to growing the experience and skills necessary to lead at the top of Corporate America, and having a healthy dose of confidence is essential to taking those risks. "The good news is that confidence, like public speaking and leadership, is a learned skill," argues Becky Blalock, former CIO and SVP of the Fortune 500 energy firm, Southern Company.
Join our host Marla Tabaka as she and Becky discuss; DARE: Straight Talk on Confidence, Courage and Career for Women in Charge (Jossey-Bass, October 2013), Blalock does just this – teaches confidence.
Filled with honest advice on gaining confidence, speaking up, finding mentors, managing others, DARE arms women with the courage to take risks, to step outside of their comfort zones and to lead.
While women still hold less than 20% of C-Suite positions in the Fortune 500, and only 8% of the CIO positions, Blalock managed to work her way up from the bottom of the corporate ladder to the C-Suite in predominantly male industry. 
Call in today if you would like to participate in the on-air discussion.
