Although women scientists spend years in school learning and developing their unique scientific knowledge, skills, curiosity and passion, little time is left to develop critical soft skills, to understand how to leverage basic business concepts, and to ensure that one’s good ideas get the support to be pursued in the laboratory. This workshop enables participating scientists to understand and implement five areas which will enable unabated career progress. Participants will self assess and develop an action plan from concepts learned in the workshop.

1. Participants already have the fundamentals of great science, they will leave the workshop embracing five new focus areas to advance their career.

2. Each participant will assess where they are and develop a high level action plan for implementation.

3. Each participant will develop a communication script to begin a dialog with their boss on where they feel their own gaps exist and how they want to engage their organization to help them close those gaps.
