Conversations about Women in the Workplace

PACSW held a series of conversations about women's leadership in the UCOP workplace, from November 2013 to October 2014.

This was a participatory series of conversations about women's leadership in the workplace. The topics of the 12 monthly sessions are inspired by Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead. Each session was facilitated by a member of PACSW, except the opening session which was facilitated by Dr. Amy Levine, an expert on women and leadership.
