FW: [Gradcontacts] Three unique presentations: Career Successes, Influencing without Authority, and Management of Change
by Morgan, Yuan-Yu Karen 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

CCO events for you! Boiler Up, Dr. Morgan Hello everyone, Request you to share information about these presentations with your graduate students and postdocs. Purdue staff (everyone; not just postdocs) are also welcome to attend any presentation they are interested in. All three events will be hosted on Zoom, will not be recorded, and will be facilitated by Bev Mentzer (Industrial Career Counselor, Davidson School of Chemical Engineering; retired VP from ExxonMobil). Bev's professional experience is in a STEM profession but the content of these presentations/workshops is useful for individuals from all disciplines. February 28: Successes, Surprises and Pitfalls: Transitioning from Academia to Industry<https://www.cco.purdue.edu/Calendar/Event/127> Via Zoom at 3 p.m. ET (registration required: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIqfumhrDkqHNynx8OU41bXu32Z5xE…) Graduate students (especially PhDs) have many in-demand skillsets but the move from grad school/academia to industry can sometimes be bumpy. Attend this workshop to learn: What skills will jumpstart your career? What will get you fired? March 2: Influencing without Authority<https://www.cco.purdue.edu/Calendar/Event/128> Via Zoom at 3 p.m. ET (registration required: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEvceGqpzMtGdKW9TQNBeCAXmfOqwc…) Critical skills for career success include communication, teamwork, and persuasion. But what does that look like in practice and execution? How can one lead effectively, how can one convince a team to get things done, especially if one doesn't have the official title/authority? Attend this presentation to learn how to influence without authority. Demystify the techniques, expand your toolkit; avoid manipulation! March 7: Management of Change<https://www.cco.purdue.edu/Calendar/Event/129> Via Zoom at 3 p.m. ET (registration required: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJErde6rrzMiHdOmeqgp9fztG51ZkLk…) Often when we spot a problem and suggest or work towards a solution, we watch in frustration as our attempts to make an improvement fail. Most people are resistant to change; yet change is critical and necessary. Whether or not you've already experienced this, change management is going to be a useful skill to know. Attend this presentation to learn: Why do some changes succeed, and others fail? Learn strategies to make YOUR changes successful. Presenter bio: Bev Mentzer retired from ExxonMobil after working 33 years in both domestic and international engineering and managerial positions. During her career, she traveled extensively, worked in domestic and global roles, and held 16 positions - from entry level engineer to Vice-President. As ExxonMobil Production Company's Engineering Vice-President, she had responsibility for ensuring functional excellence in ~3000 engineering staff and their work products. She approved ~300 job moves/yr for experienced engineers. As the Gas & Facilities Technology Manager for ExxonMobil Upstream Research, she led teams of PhDs in the development of distinguishing technology for gas processing, oil sands, machinery, flow assurance, safety and the environment. Simultaneously, she ran the company-wide Operations Integrity Management System. She was responsible for the start-up of ExxonMobil Research Qatar and served as its Vice-President. She graduated with a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from Louisiana State University and serves as an Industrial Career Counselor for the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. Beverly is married to Ray, a Purdue ChE Professor of Engineering Practice and retired ExxonMobil executive. Their son, Nate, is a mechanical engineer and their daughter, Rebecca, is an economist. Please direct all questions about these workshops to me!
