Please join us for the second leadership workshop in the LAWISE* series! Fermilab will be sponsoring a virtual workshop in collaboration with the University of Chicago and Argonne National Lab on Thursday, August 20 from 3:00-5:00pm CDT. This workshop is free and will be entirely online. The event will feature keynote speaker, Dr. Lia Merminga, and a communication workshop led by Janine Sergay, CEO of The Sergay Group, Ltd.
This workshop aims to empower you with strategies, tactics, and tools to unleash your ability to impact others with your communications, both virtually and face-to-face. As a result of the Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) environment we face in 2020, women scientists, engineers, and computing professionals are uniquely positioned to establish new best practices. It is always during times of change that the opportunities for creative alternatives present themselves. For too long, women have had to adjust to male-dominated work cultures and business processes in their field in order to succeed, as well as deal with society’s perceptions of how women should act and be seen. Now is the time to face these challenges and find your voice to influence others.

Please register by August 17. Connection details will be emailed to you in advance of the workshop.
