  • 10/28 Dory Grandia- Unleashing the Voice of Female Found

    Dory Grandia will be joining us from 9am-12pm in the Wilbur Cross North Reading Room on Friday, 10/28 to speak on her experiences with women in entrepreneurship. Dory hails from Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

     
    The world needs more female-led initiatives. And leading change isn’t easy – it takes a willingness to risk rejection and overcome challenges. But how do you project confidence that you can do something if you haven’t even tried to do it yet? In this short workshop, we’ll briefly explore the effect of gender bias on society and economy and why female leadership and entrepreneurship matters. Then we’ll learn and practice simple tools to build a confident presence and deliver engaging communication.
     
    Food, beverage, coffee, and tea will be provided to guests.
