Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:38:40 -0700

The third book, "It's Not A Glass Ceiling, It's A Sticky Floor, Best Practices and Solutions for Women In Leadership" presented by author Rebecca Shambaugh will be, on Wednesday, August 13, 2008.

Rebecca Shambaugh, President and CEO of SHAMBAUGH Leadership, will address the burning business issue of why we are not seeing more women in senior executive and leadership roles today. The real obstacles, which she cites and backs up with recent research, lie not only within traditional organizational barriers but right below a woman's feet - the sticky floors.

In this forum, Rebecca Shambaugh, founder and CEO of SHAMBAUGH, a pioneer in the field of leadership development for women, will share her organization's recent research regarding both current trends and best practices for advancing women in their careers. Having just completed an intensive research study with key executives in Fortune 500 companies, Becky will present SHAMBAUGH's key findings and recommendations and add some of her own insights from the interviews she conducted for her recently published book, It's Not A Glass Ceiling- It's A Sticky Floor, published by McGraw Hill. Her advice to women on how to get from where you are to where you want to be in your careers is both valid and practical!

Discussion Topics: Now Is The Time - Business Case for Women in Leadership

SHAMBAUGH'S Research:
The Sticky Floors - What They Are and Which Are Stopping You
Some Tools and Techniques for the Sticky Floors

Rebecca has been showcased on PBS, USA Today, and NPR on her recent research, best practices, and solutions for women leaders. She has been featured in publications such as Time Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, Glamour Magazine, Leader to Leader, New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Fortune Magazine, Fast Company, and Pink Magazine.

European social networking has now become a point of strong interest to the Internet annd Mobile Social Networking Industry.

The growing mobile market for social networking in this region will also be discussed.

Similar to the Miami event this two day European Social Networking Conference will consist of morning seminars and lectures, followed by afternoon workshops. The workshops will consist of a series of 90 minute intensive lectures that are designed to improve internet social networking business performance. Most presentations will focus on increasing E.U. web traffic and conversion rates. Language issues, cultural differences, technological developments and preferences for specific European countries will be covered at this event. Dating industry executives, marketing representatives, technology executives, affiliates and affiliate managers all stand to learn a great deal in these workshops and are welcome to interject their questions at anytime.
