Ginny Rommety’s big secret

Posted by Guest Blogger 24 January 2012 Business |  Careers |  Guest blogger |  Training |  Women |  Women in business Written by Sarah Dudney

A recent article told me that Ginny Rommety is like many career women I  meet. She has had what I would call the career handbrake.earlier on in  her career. She had that common modesty of many successful women – that she felt underqualified.and did not put herself forward for well deserved promotion. the following extract  article tells us:
“When Ginny Rommety became IBM's new chief executive last fall, she spoke about a point early in her career when she was offered a promotion that she initially rejected, for fear that she was under-qualified. Her husband asked her: "Do you think a man would have ever done that?" She learned an important lesson then and there — to be self-confident on the outside even when she felt self-critical on the inside.  “

Ginny Rommety is one of our  heroines for Women in Technology’s evening event on  31 st January.  She is what we call “Camera Ready”  and can face any corporate surprise ( positive or negative) as she is fully prepared with a confident unruffled exterior.

During our event on 31st we work through how to ensure that your career message is completely managed from the moment you step out of  your home. Like Gina,  your CV will  tell the same confident story that your business image does. We also share useful insight on how to manage your business image to message your aspiration to your stakeholders ( senior decision makers,  mentors, sponsors, peers).

We make sure that each attendee gets individual attention on CV and business  image which is vital to ensure we stand out from the crowd.

So please come and join us and learn more about Ginny Rommety’s secret on 31st January!
