Teri Morning
Why women get labeled as “mean,” how those perceptions take root, and how to replace drama and defensiveness with clarity, confidence, and leadership strength.
The “Mean Girl” trope may be playful on social media, but in real workplaces it creates real tension. Labels like "bossy," "difficult," or "aggressive" can derail credibility, damage relationships, and silence capable women. This session explores how women can navigate bias, misperception, and peer conflict—not by playing smaller, but by communicating smarter. Participants will learn practical, professional strategies to manage workplace dynamics, maintain authority, and turn conflict into credibility.
