Taking on extra tasks in the workplace - even those we may love doing, or find particularly easy to add to our plate - doesn’t always translate into the recognition and success we imagine. In fact, the opposite is more often the case, particularly for women. 

In this workshop, Tiffany Dufu, a career coach for women and author of Drop the Ball, explores the ways in which women are often expected to take on extra, non-job-related projects at work that ultimately hinder their professional growth and how women can "drop the ball" while building a framework for success. 

Key Takeaways:

• How doing “double duty” tasks can hold you back and consume your time 
• Identifying negative bias and how to counter it 
• Why certain tasks feel “comfortable” but are better delegated to help others grow 
• How to negotiate your personal choices without losing your unique self 
• Revealing the “likeability” gap and ways to combat this phenomenon 
• How to leverage your voice in the workplace
