What organizers and attendees are saying:

“Kathy is a rare find. Her empathic approach to women and her ability to get to the root of a problem with viable, practical solutions, make her someone you can trust to provide solid, insightful advice. She engages everyone in the room instantly with her warm personality and keeps them there the entire time.  She was always the speaker people remembered and wanted more of at each of the conferences I produced. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” – Suzie Galler, Founder, Esteemed Woman Foundation

“I recently attended Kathy Caprino’s “Breakdown, Breakthrough” training session in Orlando, Florida. Not only did Kathy help me to navigate through the 12 common barriers that I am facing today as a professional woman in the 21st Century workforce, but she also provided practical ways to discriminate useful information from noise. By doing so, I was able to acquire new skills to support overcoming real life scenarios. These real life scenarios involved difficult challenges that defy easy answers. Kathy also provided a one on one follow-up session to help me create an inspiring life plan and vision which included a compelling personal brand that sends a message to others about my “authentic-self”. Kathy’s commitment and passion for this cause is truly inspirational.”  – Selange Roberts, Booz Allen Hamilton

“Kathy a highly engaging speaker, delivering compelling programs as a solo presenter as well as contributing collaboratively to diverse panel discussions. Her expertise lends itself to a wide range of issues and challenges for women today, and her programs are very informative and inspiring – whether covering work/life balance, empowered communication strategies, overcoming challenge, navigating through career and midlife transitions or launching a new career and business.   I highly recommend Kathy as a speaker for women’s groups, professional women’s conferences, and career and entrepreneurial business events for women, on both regional and national levels.” — Marian Cicolello – VP, Programs and Services, CT Women’s Business Development Council

“Thank you for your wonderful presentation at the Woman of Influence event at the Staten Island Economic Development Conference.  Your words were poignant and your presentation was amazing.  I truly enjoyed your segment!”  — Sally Bartels, Staten Island Chamber of Commerce

Keynote:

BUSTING THE MYTH THAT WOMEN ARE LESS AMBITIOUS THAN MEN:
6 Essential Ways Women are Building Successful Careers of Significance

In this enlivening keynote, Kathy Caprino, M.A.  – nationally-recognized women’s work-life expert, career coach, leadership trainer and speaker – takes on the myth that women are less ambitious than men, and discusses how the cost of ambition for women – not the lack of it – is what holds women back attaining the success and leadership growth they desire.

Based on her national research with hundreds of women and her book Breakdown Breakthrough, Kathy discusses what gets in the way of women’s ambitions today, and explores what needs to change in our culture and in corporate America for women to reach their highest potential in business.

Helping women refuel their ambitions, Kathy presents six key steps for women to achieve successful, long-term careers of significance, including:

• Committing  to focused career growth and planning
• Balancing life and work effectively
• Claiming your seat at the table
• Raising your hand for more responsibility and exposure
• Connecting with successful sponsors who can support you
• Speaking up and standing up powerfully about your accomplishments and talents

If you’re a professional woman wanting positive change in your professional life, you won’t want to miss this empowering career success event with Kathy.
