What had these very successful women experienced on their way to the top? Stereotypes are alive and kicking—and they negatively impact careers and job prospects in innumerable ways.  Christine Lagarde (IMF Chief), Halley Bock (CEO of Fierce), Jill Abramson (Executive Editor of The New York Times), Laura Chinchilla (Costa Rican President) and others echoed sentiments that ripple across all our workplaces. http://harassmenttraining.com/blog/10-powerful-women-speak-the-persistence-of-stereotypes-the-need-for-trainin/ http://harassmenttraining.com/blog/10-powerful-women-speak-the-persistence-of-stereotypes-the-need-for-trainin/#When:17:13:44Z 2011-11-08T17:13:44+00:00 Tue, 8 Nov 2011 17:13:44 +00:00 Following the charges of sexual assault and attempted rape of a Manhattan hotel housekeeper by former IMF Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, two democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require hotel and motel owners in New York State to provide sexual harassment training to all employees.  http://harassmenttraining.com/blog/bill-would-require-ny-hotel-owners-to-provide-sexual-harassment-training/ http://harassmenttraining.com/blog/bill-would-require-ny-hotel-owners-to-provide-sexual-harassment-training/#When:16:46:10Z 2011-06-14T16:46:10+00:00 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:46:10 +00:00 After a week of insisting that a hacker was responsible for a lewd picture sent to a Washington state college student , Congressmen Anthony Weiner has finally confessed to tweeting the photo himself. To make matters worse, Weiner also admits he has had online exchanges with several women, some of unknown age but according to Wiener, “they're all adults, at least to the best of my knowledge."  http://harassmenttraining.com/blog/nothing-is-private-lessons-learned-from-weinergate/ http://harassmenttraining.com/blog/nothing-is-private-lessons-learned-from-weinergate/#When:15:48:25Z 2011-06-08T15:48:25+00:00 Wed, 8 Jun 2011 15:48:25 +00:00 Each day this week I am blogging about one of the 5 latest workplace trends impacting harassment claims.
