Career Possibilities and Speed Networking - Facilities
December 6, 2022, 6:00-7:30 PM ET 

In the world of business, 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, transferrable skills for those looking to make a change, tips for uncovering opportunities, advice for others, and how to make brave leaps. This panel will be lead by moderator Jen Reilly, President & COO at Safety Partners, Inc.

Panelists Include: 
- Lindsey DeVaux, Seismic
- Ramya Raghunathan, Safety Partners
- Lyndsey Rissen, Lab Central
- Ian Rosenblum, Agios

Transforming Limiting Beliefs Into Empowering Discomfort
December 14, 2022, 12:00-1:15 PM ET 

By the age of seven, our belief system is formed. As adults, we are often unaware of how these childhood beliefs influence our behaviors and decisions. To reshape beliefs that no longer serve us, limit us, we must act and seek out new experiences and embrace empowering discomfort. 

By the end of the session, you will understand how to: 

• get comfortable with being uncomfortable so you can smash through self-limiting beliefs and ignite empowering ones. 
• spark your discovery of what to continue, start, and stop doing. 
• surround yourself with game-changing people who really listen to you and get excited by untested ideas. 

Cost: Members: $5; Non-Members: $15
