This week's episode is for all the strong women out there, who struggle with balancing their tactical professional and caring compassionate self. I know this is an internal conflict that I deal with regularly as an entrepreneur in a care-giving and creative sector. How can I highlight my expertise, intelligence, and strength without losing the softer side of myself? This struggle is particularly evident in negotiations, where we are required to bargain for something we want, such as a promotion, raise, or new opportunity. Women are typically socialized to step back, give in, and avoid conflict. So, how do you harness your inner shark without losing yourself? This week's guest is Alexandra Kutilin, a full-time MBA student at Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business. Alex is passionate about career mentorship, professional development, and entrepreneurship for women, topics that she regularly explores on her blog, professionalwomanblog.com. As an ambitious young career woman, she is also very active on campus. She is currently the President of the Graduate Women's Council, Student Ambassador, Mentors in Business participant, and has been a competitor in the 2019 BC MBA Games and 2020 National MBA Games, just to name a few of her many pursuits.

In this episode, we share Prof. Maja's presentation from the first annual Graduate Women's Business Association Summit in February 2020. Prof. Maja is a sociologist, author, and confidence-researcher. Her TEDx Talk “How Apologies Kill Our Confidence” was featured by TED IDEAS in their 2019 article “Do You Say ‘Sorry’ too Much?” She is also a regular guest expert on television. Professor Maja is an apology-hater, a recovering make-up addict and she has a major issue with the word humble. To deal with the lack of confidence and incessant apologies she witnessed daily, Prof. Maja authored two books (“Hey Ladies, Stop Apol­ogizing … and other career mistakes women make” and “Hey Ladies, Stop Apologizing, THE WORK­BOOK”). Her audiobook, a best-of compilation of her two books is available on Audible. Professor Maja runs a leadership organization that trains women to improve their confidence, communication and mindset. Maja also speaks to women of all ages on topics such as: confidence, perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, time management and body positivity. Professor Maja holds a PhD in sociology from McMaster University where she also teaches. Her new study “Women’s Confidence and Communication Styles” is a global study exploring what strengthens and weakens women’s confidence, and how apologies, deflection of praise and self-compassion impact our confidence and communication. Prof. Maja’s TED TalkGWBA Summit Highlight VideoLearn more about the Georgia MBA and find us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Blogspot, and check out our YouTube playlist. 

This episode of Dawgs On Top presents the session by Dr. Marie Mitchell on giving and receiving effective feedback at this spring’s Graduate Women’s Business Association first annual Summit, Driving Change. For employees, she talks about how it is important to keep a diary of your successes, failures, and fixes, how to be receptive to feedback, how to develop external awareness to learn how others perceive you and how to prepare for those conversations with your managers. For managers, she provides a framework for providing actionable feedback. She explains how to manage one’s own biases, use emotional intelligence to prepare for and manage feedback conversations so that they are a reciprocal activity that elevates each party involved. And at the end, she presents research on gender in the workplace and how women and men can learn to balance how they exhibit both traditional male and female behaviors and also be aware of how those behaviors impact people’s perceptions.
