Topic: Stop Saying “I’m Sorry”

If you’re a woman, chances are you’ve heard the career advice to “stop apologizing so much”. And indeed psychological research indicated that women apologize more than men. But does that really mean that women apologize too much, or is there more to the story? Find out the truth behind the feminine “over-apology” and what to do about it.

Our speaker is Jessica Tower. Jessica is the owner of Tower & Company, a consulting company that provides talent assessment and talent development support to companies. With a background in both psychology and creative writing, she uses her expertise to address communication issues in the workplace. She is Past President of the Michigan Association of Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Meet monthly for networking with other Inforum members who are interested in establishing and building professional relationships. Each month we’ll enjoy casual networking plus a brief presentation from an Inforum member regarding a topic of interest to businesswomen in our community.  Coffee and breakfast items may be purchased in the Walsh cafeteria, or you may bring your own.

The mission of the Inforum Troy Morning Networking Group is to be the one meeting you look forward to attending each month. We are committed to an “apology-free” zone so do not apologize if you’re a few minutes late, or if you need to leave a few minutes early (we’ve ALL been there). Our goal is to be a welcoming, supporting networking group for professional women. The group meets monthly on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. at Walsh College.  Doors open at 7:45 a.m.
