February 22, 2021 6:00 - 7:35 PM EST Are you facing a career transition or considering your next career move? Are you in a role that is no longer a good fit for you? Are you feeling stagnant in a role with no clear path for growth, but afraid to take the leap? Are you challenged by how best to present yourself in virtual interviews? Or, have you just been laid off, and worried about how to begin a new job hunt in the current remote work environment? You are not alone. All of us, at some point in our careers, have faced and will face job and even career changes. Sometimes these changes are voluntary and opportunistic transitions; at other times these changes may be forced upon you unexpectedly. Each of these changes should be viewed as integral to your career journey. The challenge is how to make sense of these changes and to view them in the larger context of growth and personal development. In this 90-minute Zoom workshop, you will hear stories of women who have successfully navigated through major transitions in their careers. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of these women to help you through your own transition. You will also have the chance—in breakout rooms—to speak with representatives of companies who are hiring. If you are not looking for a job, you can move to breakout rooms where you can discuss other transition-related topics. If your team is hiring, this is the event for you too. You will be able to meet with members of the WEST community who are looking for new career opportunities.

WEST Dynamic Pod Mentoring Feb-May 2021 In the spring of 2021, WEST will launch a non-traditional, dynamic pod mentoring program. In this program, mentees achieve a personal or career goal by using novel small mentoring groups (pods) to obtain diverse perspectives that will provide an enriching experience for mentees and enable the execution of goals through focused actions. Pods consist of 1 mentor and 1-3 mentees who will rotate to 2 different breakout rooms to discuss long-term goals and current challenges, and together develop actionable strategies for addressing both through small group (or pod) discussions. Each mentee participates in 2 pods per meeting, maximizing opportunities to receive input from several different mentors and peer mentees. The 2021 spring program will consist of a total of six 2-hour meetings. Rotating pod structure offers a unique opportunity to discuss two topics (the same or different) and participate in a large-group facilitated networking during each 2-hour meeting. More Information: https://www.westorg.org/2021-mentoring-program Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: Communicating for Impact and Results One of the biggest problems faced by professionals, even though they are great at what they do and have great ideas, is the inability to get the attention of customers, clients, and colleagues due to not being able to communicate effectively. But the problem is not really a communication problem, it’s a connection problem. Everyone communicates, but few connect. If you can connect with others: one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience – your sense of community improves your ability to create teamwork increases, and your influence skyrockets. People who connect with others have better relationships, experience less conflict, and get more things done than those who cannot connect. Leaders who have learned the art of connection are able to communicate their ideas persuasively, establishing buy-in, and attract followers. In this webinar, Kemi Sorinmade will guide you on how to succeed as a professional, manager, or business leader, through the art of connection.

They also represent almost half of the entire U.S. professional workforce. However, women face unique financial challenges and the many roles they play—business owner, scientist, technologist, mother, sister—influence the many financial obligations they have for themselves and their families. But true wealth is about more than just a woman’s money. It’s about a woman’s life and the things she values most as well as the relationships, interests and goals that bring her joy. Putting all these elements at the heart of a woman’s long-term wealth management strategy helps ensure that she will achieve the financial future that she envisions.

More Information: https://www.westorg.org/2020-07-22-networking-night How to Advocate for Yourself We negotiate every day. At work we negotiate not just our jobs and salaries, but research priorities, budgets, staffing, deliverables and time tables. At home some of us negotiate child care pick up and drop off, who is making dinner and who stays home when the kids are sick. While men and women are equally skilled negotiators, women face some additional challenges. Not only were many of us not raised to advocate for our own interests, but we sometimes pay a social cost when we assert our needs and interests. In this session, guided by Amy Rebecca Gay, we’ll dive into what we negotiate, our beliefs around advocating for ourselves, how to mitigate others’ negative perceptions when we assert our interests and two tools for increasing our effectiveness. You will leave with a better understanding of what is getting in your way and what to do about it.
