Career webinar: Ouch That Stereotype Hurts
2023-03-02 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
In the career webinar, “Ouch That Stereotype Hurts,” participants will experience the impact of stereotypical comments, jokes and emails.
The program will help explore why people don’t speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors. Six techniques will be explored for speaking up.
The Zoom workshop, being presented from 10 a.m.to 12 p.m. Thursday, March 2, has the audience think about whether they are equally respectful and effective with a “diverse” range of people including those that are similar and dfferent. While we may never be completely free of all bias, we can work toward communicating in a bias-free way.
This program is in collaboration with the Greater Raritan One-Stop Training Center and the Somerset County Library System (SCLS).

Career Webinar: How to Avoid Burnout, Tune into Your Intuition, and Ignite Your Power
2023-03-22 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom

Nobody, no matter the field or role, is immune to burnout. According to the Mayo Clinic, “job burnout is a special type of work-related stress — a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity,” that may be related to depression. And while depression is a much bigger bear to wrestle, we can take steps to address, manage, and prevent burnout.
Scott is an award-winning author and speaker; she has years of experience leading corporate innovation and sustainability. Scott was named one of the Top 10 Most Inspiring Women Leaders of 2022, is a thought leader on the 2023 Forbes Business Council, and her work was honored at the White House as part of its Energy Data Initiative.
