Strategies for Time Management

In the Strategies for Time Management workshop, attendees will learn how to identify your most productive time of the workday, setting and achieving realistic goals for project milestones, the different between a project and a task, strategies for carving out time for specific projects and reclaiming time spent on administrative tasks like emails. Students will then have the opportunity to make a project timeline for something are currently working on and discuss their plans with one another to get additional ideas for their own project.

Foundations of Emotional Wellbeing

This workshop will be led by Pittsburgh executive coach Monique De Monaco. She will give a presentation on strengthening your emotional well-being, which is the foundation of everything else you need to be successful at graduate school and beyond. After Monique’s presentation, we will do an exercise to help you identify the factors in your life that may be impeding your success and how to change that narrative to give you the emotional strength to be a leader in your field.

Intentional Networking: Creating Meaningful Connections

 

Speaker(s)

Beth Davis, SPHR, PSM
The Llewellin Group, LLC

Format: Interactive Workshop

Our current reality makes it easy to "network" with others - though perhaps from a safe distance and perhaps without clear intentions. This workshop will explore the value of being intentional with building a diverse academic and professional network and work through practical ways to initiate and foster productive relationships. These new connections can lead to unexpected opportunities, innovative collaborations, and mutual success.
