DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tanja Wranik\, work and organizational psychologist FSP\, 
 business and leadership coach\, and consultant\nDescription and objectives
 \nProfessional careers are partially based on technical\, scientific\, and
  professional skills (“what you know”) and partially on social network
 s and professional networks (“who you know”). However\, many young pro
 fessionals are surprised to discover that “who you know” is often much
  more important than “what you know” in determining interesting job of
 fers and careers. This is especially true for researchers and academics wh
 o have spent much of their young lives perfecting their technical and scie
 ntific skills and to be the best in their schools\, universities\, and PhD
  programs\, and women\, who have internalized counterproductive stereotype
 s.\nThis workshop is designed to give participants the tools and technique
 s to develop\, maintain\, and harness professional networks. In parti cula
 r\, we will examine general principles concerning network building and how
  cultural differences in communication and collaboration may influence bes
 t prac tices and expectations in social relationships in different context
 s.\n \nApproach\nThe workshop will be interactive\, and based on the ques
 tions and concerns brought by the participants. We will use role playing a
 nd concrete examples to experiment.\nThe workshop will be held in English\
 , but some challenges concerning cultural differences can be discussed in 
 French or German\, depending on the language and preferences of the partic
 ipants..\n \n \nTarget audience \nFemale Postdocs\n_____________________
