How women manage global careers is the
subject of Women Going Global: Strategies
for Success, the third television forum by Emmy-Award winning
producer Helene D. Lerner. Hosted by Lerner, the hour-long, live-to-tape
program features a diverse and lively forum of corporate executives,
entrepreneurs, technology leaders and business students from around
the world sharing their insights, frustrations, and triumphs as they
forge new routes for women in the global workplace. Issues tackled
include:
-
How well are women advancing as global managers?
- What
are the stereotypes still blocking the way?
-
What skills do women bring to international assignments?
-
What is it like to live and work on a global time clock?
-
How do women balance travel and family?
In
three powerful documentary segments, women who are global leaders
tell their stories—from the resistance they encountered to
the trade-offs they've had to make, from the mentors who supported
them to the colleagues they've surprised and inspired.
Among
the firsthand stories:
Deloitte
Consulting Global E Business Leader Cathy Benko describes how her
entire family met the challenges posed by her global responsibilities—and
all grew stronger as a result.
BASF
manager Denise Kingstrom discusses the benefits and trade-offs of
tackling an assignment to Mexico City—"Looking at your business
in another country. You really start opening yourself up to other
ideas."
Start-up
global entrepreneur Yael Alkalay, co-founder of red flower, talks
about how she infused her business with her family's values and
spirit, and how she regards the global business world—"Creating
a brand and not considering the global market is naive."
