Washington From a Different Angle
From her position as the Washington-based correspondent for BBC News and anchor on the BBC's international network, BBC World, Katty Kay offers a unique perspective on American politics. America’s attempts to "go it alone" on major global issues in recent years has cost the country credibility internationally. Yet in future efforts at fighting terrorism, stabilizing Middle East policy or tackling global warming, the U.S. truly needs its allies. She looks at the Obama Administration and Congress through the lens of a seasoned journalist with global credentials. Her comments and observations reveal an international perspective on the most important stories of the day - giving audiences an unparalleled sense of the global reaction to American policy. Her charm and wit are the perfect complement to the keen insights she provides - on the President, Congress, the State Department, the Pentagon, the 2010 midterm elections and much more.
Womenomics: Write Your Own Rules for Success
America is on the verge of the biggest workplace revolution since the Second World War. Women are more valuable than ever on the job, and are literally remaking the office to suit them. The most recent numbers show women now make up a majority of workers--in part due to the recession. During the recent rash of layoffs and downsizing, the 82 percent of the jobs lost in recent months have been those belonging to men. But there is also a pink lining to the current economy: around the globe, survey after survey reports that companies that employ more senior women actually make more money. Women are more inclusive, more focused on long-term results and, in many cases, better educated. But women don't want the same career track their male counterparts have carved. Women want more flexibility and are creating work lives to suit them – lives where they have time for children, elderly parents, friends, pets, marathons or just themselves. Katty Kay provides insight as well as shares her own personal stories on how to attain the right balance between careers and personal lives. Audience members will understand:
· How the contributions of women are reshaping the workplace - and earning companies more money
· How to create the right work life balance for yourself
· What employers should be doing to keep and recruit women
