Business Book Breakfast Club August 13, 2008

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!
