BOOK Rayona Sharpnack

Rayona Sharpnack Speaking Topics

  • Women Empowering Women

    "For every one courageous female willing to fight for retribution for unfair treatment, there are a thousand others willing to walk away."

    Rayona outlines the process of revealing, assessing and designing innovative approaches to transforming the relationship that women have with one another; ultimately, it's imperative that women trade up their own contexts about empowering other women.

  • Men as Allies

    "This work isn't anyone helping others out — our liberation, our future, our economic abundance is dependent upon this work."

    Rayona discusses why men can help women work to their full capacity as leaders • and why they should.

  • Gender Partnership

    "What are the reinvented contexts that move us from, 'Gender Partnership is the right thing to do,' to, 'Our whole organizational strategy depends on the full partnership of men and women'?"

    Rayona shares her thoughts on Essential Elements for Creating True Gender Partnership in your organization, including: Empowering Women For and With Each Other, Engaging Men to Advance Women, and Removing Institutional Barriers and Blind Spots.

  • Gender Partnership: Cracking the Code

    "We are at the precipice of a miraculous moment in time ... We are actually at a point where we can change the tide. Now men and women are together to talk about Gender Partnership ... Men of quality are never threatened by women's equality."

    Addressing the shift in workplace conversation that has risen from a shift in social attitudes, Rayona discusses the best ways in which to seize this opportunity to demonstrate the (common-sense) success made possible through equality.

  • Contextual Leadership: Shifting Your Context

    "Although we may think that we act freely based on a rational assessment of the objective audience, this isn't the case. The real source of people's actions is not what they know, but how they perceive the world around them and what conclusions they draw as a result."

    Based on her book, Trade Up: Five Steps for Redesigning Your Leadership and Life Inside Out, Rayona shares how to Trade Up and change your perspective, in addition to offering her "Secret Sauce" of Breakthrough Leadership.
