Sylvia Dolena will present “Winning Edge Leadership for Women” on Friday, Jan. 13.
Part of Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center’s “Teamwork, Leadership and Preparing for the New Economy” Training Series, the free workshop runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at University of Hawaii at Hilo, UCB 127, 200 W. Kawili Street.
“How do women learn to maneuver and succeed when advancing up the leadership ladder, especially given the additional obstacles we must overcome?” Dolena said in a press release. “Learn to access your innate talents and develop new skills for stepping powerfully into leadership!”
This training explores: (1) Why women have difficulty promoting ourselves and talking about our accomplishments; (2) why men’s gut instincts are often respected, while women’s intuitions are often discounted; and (3) how women can empower ourselves despite biased mindsets in the workplace.
Dolena worked for Hewlett-Packard for 18 years, as a global programs and operations manager and as a strategic change project manager. She has worked as an external business consultant with HP and other high-tech and retail companies like AMD and Best Buy.
Currently, Dolena is a project manager for one Fortune 100 company’s new Leadership Certification Program. She delivers workshops and leadership development programs in Hawaii and nationally.
