Career Exploration

It is never too late to explore a career!  Listen to Lynn Chang, PhD, as see walks us through the process of determining our wants, our talents and our curiosities which will ultimately aid us in discovering our careers of choice.

Feminist Management & Leadership

As a feminist leader and entrepreneur, Cat Ashton teaches us that the gender inequities pervading the workplace today can only be challenged once we begin to understand and accommodate the candid lives of working women.

Importance of Giving & Receiving Feedback

From being more specific when offering feedback to bulldozing those stubborn defensive walls, Stacey Rudnick reminds us that feedback does not equate to judgement, instead, it mirrors the truth of our abilities.

How to Overcome Being Liked in an Interview

Many women tend to approach interviews with an emphasis on charisma, but TyAnn Osborn explains why focusing on likeability above self-advocacy and intuition can be detrimental to finding an ideal fit.

Ending the Habit of Over Talk

Over-talk is the act of talking too much or too long in ways that drown out all others.  As important as it is to communicate our messages, Barbara Stewart reminds us that when it comes to our professional speech, more is not always better.
