Butler University Executive Education
The Foundations in Business Certificate (FBC) is especially effective for professionals entering positions where business skills are critical to success. In addition, successful completion of the FBC allows participants to forgo many pre-requisites when accepted to the Butler MBA program, moving you as much as a semester ahead.
The FBC is a very effective method to determine if pursuit of an MBA is right for you. Visit the FBC information page

Key Findings From the 2017
Women in the Workplace Report
This October, LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Company released
Women in the Workplace 20
17,
a comprehensive study of the state of women in corporate America.
This year's report shows that we have a long way to go to reach gender equality. Despite the efforts of women's initiatives, progress is slow and may even be stalling.
Because we are comfortable with the status quo, we don't fully see the barriers women face. Nearly 50 percent of men think women are well represented in leadership in companies where only one in ten senior leaders is a woman. We have a low bar for what equality looks like because we have blind spots when it comes to diversity.
We need to raise our standards for gender equality and invite men to the conversation.
Check out the full report here.

#MeToo and #WeCan
Featured Blog Post from our Interim CEO
Kim Graham Lee
#MeToo.
Indeed, it is an interesting time with so much coming out in Hollywood, the media, and other industries related to the sexual harassment of women - women who have remained silent for years. Like those women, I too have been harassed sexually and otherwise over the course of my career and yes, even in senior leadership roles, and yes, even in recent years. The newspaper headline about my departure or the e-mail citing that I was moving on never told the real story. Yes, hands are being raised and social media is full of hashtags and likes finally bringing attention to this longstanding problem.

Our theme for November is
Be the Change!
As leaders, it's critical to speak up and advocate for the advancement of women. We know that women are good for business, and the financial results prove it. Yet, the numbers of women advancing in leadership roles aren't changing. We need male allies in our companies who actively work to eliminate gender bias. Invite men in your organization t
o
be the change
by acting as a male ally and speaking up for women when they're not in the room. We can't wait to hear about the real, honest conversations you have this month about teaming up to solve gender issues at work.
