Workshops

I offer a wide range of fun, energizing leadership development workshops for groups of 15-20 people. These workshops work well in a range of venues including academic, research and corporate settings, lab group meetings, and conference breakout sessions. I am happy to talk about additional workshop themes or ways that I can tailor these workshops to your organization.

Examples of workshops I offer:

Mentoring: Helping others thrive
Being a great mentor doesn’t require superpowers. This nuts-and-bolts workshop helps mentors play to their strengths and establish boundaries and expectations with their mentees. Participants will develop strategies for mentoring across differences such as gender and race, as well as across disciplines and sectors. We explore how to centre mentee agency in mentoring relationships and consider strategies to help mentees address common career challenges. Make a difference in the world! Be a mentor!

The science of gender and imposter syndrome
Many of us have been there: smiling and nodding and all the while desperately worried that people will find out that we are not as smart or as innovative or as whatever as they thought we were. It feels terrible. It is exhausting. And it stops us from doing our best work. In this workshop, we explore the causes of imposter syndrome and then turn to research that can help us banish that happiness-stealing demon and live our best lives.

Navigating Workplace Culture: Strategies for Women and Equity-Deserving Groups
This workshop focuses on recognizing and responding to common career challenges faced by women and members of other equity-deserving groups. We often have to walk a tightrope between being likable and being assertive, face challenges getting credit for our ideas and our work, and have to prove our competence over and over again. In an ideal world, we should address these challenges at a cultural and organizational level. But in the interim, we need to navigate our workplaces. Participants will learn to recognize gendered patterns of workplace culture and practice strategies for responding to them.
