NH Chapter (Virtual): Imagining a Gender-Equal World
March 8, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
When you imagine a gender-equal world, what does it look like? Sound like? Feel like?
As a professional engineer, Emily Nichols imagines “a world where we can stop talking about being women in engineering – we can just be great engineers in workplaces with plenty of role models and mentors of all genders.”
But how do we get there? Emily likes to focus on small, daily actions we can all take, no matter our position or profession. In this program, Emily combines storytelling with discussion and teaches a few simple sketching skills to help us visualize and move towards a gender-equal world.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explore what a gender-equal world looks like
- Express our ideas visually, with words & simple sketches
- Prepare to take small, daily actions towards our vision
Participants will need: blank paper, pens & colored markers, and ideally, cameras on.
All gender identities welcome! Please email Maureen (Maureen.Callahan@usourceenergy.com) to RSVP and receive the Zoom link
Emily Nichols
P.Eng, B.Sc.(Eng), MA.Sc.(Eng) and S.e.n.s.e. (of Humour)
Keynote Speaker, ‘Human Skills for Technical People’
Emily Nichols works with organizations that want to equip their engineers with human skills, so they can become better problem solvers, team players, and leaders.
A professional engineer with more than 15 years of experience in manufacturing and innovation, Emily has worked with PepsiCo, PPG, Janssen, Henkel and more. Emily easily connects at all levels of organizations, inspiring deeper understanding and collaborative teamwork. Her willingness to lace up her safety boots and really dig into a problem sets her apart from most speakers and engineers, and she always unearths new perspectives as she walks a mile in a client’s or employee’s shoes.
Emily has a B.Sc. in Systems Engineering from University of Guelph and a M.A.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from McMaster University. She summarized her chemical engineering masters thesis in five Dr. Seuss rhymes.
