Ashleigh Shelby Rosette on Qualities of Female Leaders

Ashleigh Shelby Rosette’s Speech Topics

  • Negotiations

    Negotiation is the art and science of securing agreements between two or more interdependent parties. The purpose of this session is to understand the processes of negotiation. A basic premise of this session is that while a leader needs analytical skills to develop optimal solutions to problems, a broad array of negotiation skills is needed in order for these solutions to be accepted and implemented. The session will highlight the components of an effective negotiation and help you to better analyze your behavior in negotiations.


  • Leadership & Decision-making

    Leaders spend much of their time solving problems and making decisions. Many leaders often solve problems and make decisions by reacting to them as opposed to thinking about the decision-making process strategically and analytically before action is taken. The purpose of this session is to help you make the best decisions possible with the information that is available to you.


  • Leadership & Diversity

    Leadership is the process of influencing others to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how it can be done effectively, and the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish the shared objectives. Thus, in order to lead effectively, a leader needs to be able to capitalize on the strengths of each of his or her followers and to understand their diverse perspectives. The purpose of this session is to assess shared and differing perceptions and values in organizations that shape how diverse groups of individuals make sense of each other, their work, achievements, and their environments. You will gain a better understanding about perspective-taking, bias, group-based stereotypes, inclusion, and diversity is organizational settings.
