Description
Workshop Day is a hands-on, interactive and in-person event for women students in STEM to develop their career-ready employability skills for an upcoming Co-op, internship, role or future career. Registration is now available for this year’s Workshop Day on Saturday, January 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.!
Ready to transform self-doubt into resilience and renewed confidence? Back by popular demand, author, TEDx speaker and leadership coach will introduce attendees to her ICONIC Framework鈩 to help them transform hard moments into confidence, clarity and action.
In STEM鈥檚 high-pressure environments, challenge and comparison can spark self-doubt. In this interactive keynote-workshop titled “ICONIC Resilience: Rising Strong”, participants will identify their leadership identity, understand how the Imposter Complex shows up in STEM, and build a personalized 鈥渞esilience reflex鈥 they can use in interviews, teamwork, academic transitions and beyond.
Attendees can expect to:
- Identify their primary ICONIC Identity (Host, Healer, Maven, Visionary, Sage or CEO)
- Recognize external bias vs. internal self-doubt
- Turn feedback into fuel and as data for growth
- Prepare for interviews using their identity strengths
- Take one bold next step and celebrate progress
Through interactive table work, peer-based exercises, reflection tools and guided discussion, participants will leave with a tangible 鈥渞esilience reflex鈥 and an actionable plan for sustaining confidence, connection and self-trust that they can take beyond the workshop into their careers and everyday moments.
Workshop Day is part of 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Faculty of Engineering and Design鈥檚 Women in Engineering & IT (WiE&IT) Program. Students who attend the event will also have the opportunity to refine their CV and leave with a certificate of program completion. Lunch will be provided and every attendee with leave with exclusive Women in STEM branded swag. Spaces are limited so secure your spot today!
