SUMMARY:Career Possibilities Panel & Speed Networking: HR\, Talent\, and Learning & Development
DESCRIPTION:In the world of science\, careers are no longer linear or predictable. What was once a clearly sign-posted path as you progressed through milestones\, a career road map is now circuitous presenting new challenges and opportunities at every bend. Life-long careers in one sector or one company are becoming a rarity as new technologies and shifting social norms disrupt traditional careers. Both employers and employees are seeking more diversity of experience\, lifestyle flexibility and alternative paths. This panel is designed to help you think about your career path and the different options that are open to you. The panel will have an informational interview type feel with panelists sharing their career paths\, a look at what their job entails\, transferable skills for those looking to make a change\, tips for uncovering opportunities\, advice for others\, and how to make brave leaps.

SUMMARY:Personal Branding & Marketing Yourself
DESCRIPTION:When we use the term “marketing”\, most people think of products\, services and commodities. How about ourselves – marketing our talents\, accomplishments and value – inside our organizations and outside within our profession\, industry and community. Are we comfortable talking about ourselves in this way? More importantly\, are we prepared to talk about ourselves in this way – packaging our talents\, ideas and accomplishments – showcasing them\, leveraging them and presenting our value internally within our organizations and externally within our chosen fields\, industries & communities? Are we managing our careers as proactively as we help others manage theirs? Identifying\, creating and articulating one’s “personal brand” empowers us to ‘own our career’\, seize opportunities we aspire to achieve and tell our stories. Personal branding and the ability to market ourselves is an essential ingredient for successful career management at all stages of our careers. Learn how to create a framework to embrace and develop this core competency.

SUMMARY:Become a More Confident Ally
DESCRIPTION:What does it actually mean (and not mean) to be an ally? Many well-intentioned professionals would like to be allies but they’re not sure how. They have concerns about overstepping or misreading situational cues. Or they feel uncomfortable having conversations about what support looks like to others. Regardless of your background\, role or level\, you can be an ally. In this presentation led by Kim Meninger\, we will debunk common myths around allyship and explore actionable steps you can take to become a more confident ally. \nPlus a panel on what this looks like in the real world. \nLocation: Alnylam\, 675 W Kendall St.\, Cambridge\, MA or Zoom\nCost: Members: $5; Non-Members: $15 \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Rise & Thrive: Visioning Tools to go from Stress to Success & Achieve Your Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Women’s health is disproportionately affected by stress and anxiety. Women have 30% more neurons firing at any given time than men\, which supports their having stronger skills such as empathy\, intuition\, collaboration\, and self-control\, but it also makes women vulnerable to anxiety\, depression\, pain\, and insomnia. Women leaders need tools that support our cognitive and mental well-being in order to thrive. \nRimi Chakraborty\, an entrepreneur and leadership development consultant will guide us through a practical exercise based on her book\, Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience: A Revolutionary Women’s Leadership Framework for Balance\, Well-being and Success. \nYou’ll hear how Rimi went from chasing someone else’s dream to defining and living her own\, and then you’ll be guided through an impactful visioning exercise designed to overcome mental roadblocks\, ease anxiety\, and align your vision with your personal and professional aspirations. You’ll walk away with tangible strategies to shift your mindset\, restore balance\, and create a prosperous future\, both inside and out. \nLocation: Zoom\nCost: Members: $5; Non-Members: $15 \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Boundaries: Exploring & Setting Boundaries to Reduce Your Stress & Increase Your Confidence
DESCRIPTION:We often wonder how to improve our “work-life balance”. One reason it’s so hard to answer this\, is that it’s the wrong question. Balance implies equal time or a consistent\, static state. Our lives are far too complex and changeable to be able to find one right answer on how to honor all of our commitments. \nIn this interactive workshop you will have the chance to explore the ways Boundaries show up in your own life. You will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to set limits on your time that are aligned with your values and what matters most to you. You will be able to identify ways to lead your life so that you can meet all the important commitments first—and do so while being free of the guilt and uncertainty when you say “No” to the expectations. \nOne reason setting Boundaries is so hard is that we often worry what would happen if we said “No”. We may worry that we won’t get the promotion if we don’t stay late every night. Or you might have a friend who takes up too much of your time\, but you don’t want to feel like a bad friend if you say “No” to her requests. \nIn this workshop\, you will have the chance to identify the boundaries in your life that are most challenging for you. Is it saying “No”? Is it making time for self-care? Is it letting go of the guilt for arranging a girls’ night out once in a while? Or is it getting creative on finding a way to say “Yes” to projects and goals you’ve been too busy to achieve? \nYou will learn from stories of women who identified what was most important to them\, and trusted those beliefs. When these brave women identified their values around a situation\, their ability to know what the right thing to do became obvious\, and they never looked back.
