Alpha and Gender Diversity

Dinner

In collaboration with:

Through education and networking events, CFA Montreal’s Women in Investment Management series objective is to lead the way when it comes to increasing diversity in the investment profession and promote diversity at the corporate level across all industries. Together we want to continue building the business case for diversity and encourage firms to design teams that will deliver better results for clients.

We are delighted to host dynamic speaker, Carla Harris, as she shares her "Tools for Maximizing Your Career Success".

As a highly respected thought leader and author, Carla has shared her professional tools on several television shows including the Today Show, Kathy & Hoda with strategies on how to “win” in the workplace. She was also recently featured on CNBC discussing the importance of diversity in business. Carla’s extensive list of accomplishments include; Magna Cum Laude Harvard Business School Alum, the Chairman of a leading global financial organization, the accomplished author of “Strategize to Win”, as well as a gifted Carnegie Hall gospel singer. Notably, in 2013, President Barack Obama appointed Carla as the Chair to the National Women’s Business Council.

Carla’s engaging and powerful teaching provides practical and insightful advice on communication strategies, bouncing back after a misstep, and building up “relationship currency”. If you are thinking about repositioning yourself in the work place, are new in your career, looking to move up or move on, or somewhere in between, you will find something of value in her talk.

Carla will address the following topics:

Proven strategies that will help you maximize your success in your current position or your dream position

The importance of perceptions in the workplace as well as the key relationships that you must have in order to ensure your success

The power of authenticity and the role it plays in powerful leadership
