Woman in Popular Culture or Industry
Prepare a presentation Project on a Woman in Popular Culture or Industry.
Choose a woman that is listed from the options below. You may not select Oprah Winfrey or Kamala Harris as the internet is flooded with presentations about them already. You may not select a TV, movie/Hollywood/media celebrity, or an athlete. You are not permitted to recycle work from another class assignment.
Format: Presentation with voiceover ( include a script for the voice over)
Student may use the presentation software of their choice (Power Point, Adobe Spark, Prezi, etc.) as long as the slides have audio voiceovers
Slides must address the following topics (suggest one slide per bullet point below)
Why you selected her
A general overview of her professional career (jobs held, educational level, current role, etc.)
What leadership traits/skills has she demonstrated throughout her career (use the theories you learned in class and the different leadership styles, then tie them to specific examples
Feel free to make a guess as to their MBTI type
Achievements and failures in career
Impacts to career (personal life, gender issues, etc). Again, use the information you learned in class about how a woman’s life can be impacted in business as an example and don’t be afraid to make assumptions as this is a public figure you are analyzing (there is no way you can know all of the details of their personal life but just go by what you can find online).
Did you find examples of gender bias?
Work/life balance issues?
Discrimination?
What can other women learn from your person? Does she exemplify a certain trait or has she paved the way somehow?
How is this person influential?
What is the biggest lesson you learned from researching this individual?
