Via Zoom at 3 p.m. ET (registration required: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIqfumhrDkqHNynx8OU41bXu32Z5xEw876c)
Graduate students (especially PhDs) have many in-demand skillsets but the move from grad school/academia to industry can sometimes be bumpy. Attend this presentation to learn: What skills will jumpstart your career? What will get you fired?

March 2: Influencing without Authority
Via Zoom at 3 p.m. ET (registration required: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEvceGqpzMtGdKW9TQNBeCAXmfOqwcgqXpw)
Critical skills for career success include communication, teamwork, and persuasion. But what does that look like in practice and execution? How can one lead effectively, how can one convince a team to get things done, especially if one doesn't have the official title/authority? Attend this presentation to learn how to influence without authority. Demystify the techniques, expand your toolkit; avoid manipulation!

March 7: Management of Change
Via Zoom at 3 p.m. ET (registration required: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJErde6rrzMiHdOmeqgp9fztG51ZkLkDRZb0)
Often when we spot a problem and suggest or work towards a solution, we watch in frustration as our attempts to make an improvement fail. Most people are resistant to change; yet change is critical and necessary. Whether or not you've already experienced this, change management is going to be a useful skill to know. Attend this presentation to learn: Why do some changes succeed, and others fail? Learn strategies to make YOUR changes successful.

Please direct questions to me, and thanks for your help with advertising these opportunities!
