Women's Circles NYC Symposium Series: Session 3 – Navigating Organizations

Join us for the third session of our Women's Circles NYC Symposium series, “Navigating Organizations” where we'll explore the complex dynamics of working within organizations and how to address challenges often posed by gender bias.


 

What is the Women’s Circles Symposium Series? 
The Women’s Circles NYC Symposium series is a dynamic initiative by Yale SOM Alumni Relations, facilitated by Becca Constantine ’19. Yale School of Management is hosting six, half-day sessions in New York dedicated to nurturing women as leaders, innovators, and change-makers. Each session is designed such that attendees will learn about research on the session’s topic in an in-depth and thought-provoking presentation from Becca Constantine ’19. Subsequently, attendees will break into group-based circles. In these circles, attendees will engage in meaningful discussions, delving into personal and professional narratives guided by empowering questions. Finally, the group will come back together to conclude by sharing insights and takeaways.

All Women’s Circles NYC Symposium sessions are free to attend for Yale SOM Alumni and will begin with a complimentary breakfast for attendees.

Session 3 - Research Spotlight:
Participate in an engaging activity on team dynamics before diving into underlying dynamics of groups and teams that shape our work and our lives. Practice recognizing these dynamics and gain strategies to shift them across settings.

Session 3 - Women’s Circles Reflection:
In this session's small-group discussions, we’ll focus on practical strategies to navigate some of the most common challenges raised by gender bias. We’ll explore concrete strategies to counteract gender bias and empower women to thrive in professional and personal settings.
