9:20 am —10:20 am: Opening Keynote & Conversation: Women in Leadership—A Perspective on How to Succeed
In today’s multicultural workplace the individual who advances their career must often make great and bold choices in order to achieve their goals. Learn what it takes to be a great leader from the personal journey of a top executive who shares her “keys to success” and the importance of networking to achieve it.

Grace Lieblien / President / General Motors Brazil

10:20 am — 10:45 am: Networking Break 

10:45 am — 12:30 pm: WORKSHOP A: Managing a Career, a Family and a Life

Work Life integration and optimization is a challenge for women leaders. Professional women have difficulty managing motherhood and a career. Many feel that they no longer have to work harder than men to secure leadership positions—however, they have to make greater personal sacrifices in order to succeed. These include time for themselves, time with their spouses and children, their ageing parents, their friends and other members of their family. Businesses,on the other hand, want to know what they can do to retain their professional women and advance their careers while they are having their families.

What is the local currency?

The local currency is Chinese yuan. As these FAQs are being written, the exchange rate is 1 yuan = 0.1471 US dollars.

Is Tipping Customary?

From TravelChinaGuide.com comes this information:

In recognition of good service from tour guides, drivers, skycaps, waiters or bellhops, tipping which was once frowned upon has become gradually accepted as common practice in China as elsewhere in the world.

Although tipping is not required, gratuities may improve service. For the bellboys or waiters, 1 - 5 US dollars may be appropriate as the tip. If you are uncertain about how much to give, just tip based on your bill. Generally, 10% - 15% is the most proper amount. For the tour guide and the driver, 1 - 10 US dollars a day per person is adequate.

Electricity

Most of the hotels in China have both 110V and 220V electrical outlets in the bathrooms, though in guest rooms usually only 220V sockets are available. You may need a plug adapter, which you can buy at US travel stores or in China.??

If I have extra time to travel, where should I go?

From Tour-beijing.com comes this list of Top 10 Attractions & Things to Do in Beijing:

  • Forbidden City
  • Tiananmen Square
  • Temple of Heaven
  • Summer Palace
  • Ming Tombs
  • Great Wall
  • Hutongs
  • Olympic Sites
  • Beijing Roast Duck
  • Beijing Opera

2:30 pm – 3:00 pm       Worklife Balance Workshop

Women in China thoroughly understand what it means to be a good daughter-in-law and a daughter. Often career ambitions are hampered due to taking care of a parent, a child or a spouse. Sometimes it means taking a less-stimulating job to free up time, relocating to be near a parent or in-laws, or leaving the workforce entirely. How do you manage expectations at work and at home? What support mechanism can you put into place or create in order to better balance your work load and personal responsibilities?
