• Saturday, October 17: Understanding Personality using DiSC (90 mins): Personality preferences (ours and others’) impact how we communicate, the speed at which we process info and make decisions, and much more. During this session, participants will learn the basics of personality type as well as a few keys to detecting type in others. Noticing type supports effective interviewing.

The purpose of this session is to increase participants’ emotional self-awareness and self-management.

• Saturday, October 31: Laugh & Lighten Up! (90 mins): Play, energetic engagement, and focusing on what is good and positive lights up the brain and floods our bodies with chemicals that support creativity and joy. Participants in this session will engage in playful exercises that challenge them to smile, be in the moment, and support one another. 

• Saturday, November 7: Online Interviews (60 mins): Candidates and professionals interviewing online have the ability to positively impact their outcomes based on choices that are in their control: lighting, position of camera, ease/difficulty in using technology, etc. During this sessions we’ll cover physicality, eye contact, the importance of understanding communication using online platforms, and showing up professionally.
