Whether you are seeking a job, a training opportunity, or just the chance to acquire more resources or experience, effective negotiation skills are vital to your career. In this presentation, you will learn how to develop a negotiation strategy that will contribute to your success.
Why do we all love to avoid those conversations we know we need to have—knowing the problem will only worsen over time? This session will help participants learn how to 1) successfully lead those difficult conversations most people dread by embracing the need to fully prepare with a sense of deep reflection, gratitude, and humility, 2) identify and apply personal preferences, approaches and tactics to influence success when resolving conflicts that include difficult conversations, and 3) discuss skills and techniques that serve to mitigate or prevent harmful conflict and difficult conversations. It’s time to stop running from our circumstances, and to start leading our outcomes.
Mentoring is well recognized as contributing to career success across disciplines. Like any other interpersonal interaction, mentoring relationships take time and effort to flourish. This workshop will help you develop vital strategies to cultivate and manage productive mentoring relationships that will contribute to your professional success and personal satisfaction throughout your career.

Being able to build relationships (networking) helps you develop and improve your skillset and gain resources necessary to your career development. It is critical to present yourself during these interactions with confidence, through understanding the difference between self-awareness versus bragging, and especially in recognizing and dealing with imposter syndrome that may surface.
During this seminar, we will discuss tips and techniques for this, as well as email/LinkedIn etiquette for building and securing connections, and developing your “elevator pitch” when you meet someone in person or virtually.
Learning objectives:
After this lecture, attendees will be able to:
- Identify potential challenges to connecting with others and developing their network
- Proactively and positively own their experiences (self-awareness) and be able to identify when imposter syndrome occurs and take steps to deal with it’s impact
- Have a framework to reach out to others in a variety of settings and converse about their skills and experiences
