As part of the ASUG Women Con­nect pro­gram, ASUG invites you to our inau­gur­al ASUG Women Con­nect Think Tank. ASUG Think Tanks con­nect you with peers nav­i­gat­ing the same chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties as you. 

This is your oppor­tu­ni­ty to recon­nect with Caitlin Mac­Gre­gor and Kim­ber­ly Sharp after their Women Con­nect web­casts in July and meet our next Women Con­nect web­cast speak­er Liu­ba Loiko. You can use the ASUG Women Con­nect pro­gram link above to view their web­casts and reg­is­ter for any upcom­ing ASUG Women Con­nect events before this event. 

In this open-forum con­ver­sa­tion, we offer our mem­bers the oppor­tu­ni­ty to dis­cov­er their unique pro­fes­sion­al tal­ents, how to turn those tal­ents into career strengths, and how to leave the sta­tus quo behind by gain­ing the tools need­ed to cre­ate an equi­table workplace. 

Please bring your ques­tions, per­son­al expe­ri­ences, advice, and resources to share for this event!

Think Tank Insights:

  • Fake it til you make it is huge in lead­er­ship. Don’t suc­cumb to imposter syn­drome – trust in your knowl­edge and skills and project your confidence. 

  • Con­fi­dence grows from with­in. Lead with love, and cul­ti­vate mean­ing­ful rela­tion­ships with col­leagues, employ­ees, lead­ers, and peers to facil­i­tate success. 

  • We won’t get any­where alone. Work to cre­ate a strong sup­port sys­tem of women men­tors, lead­ers, col­leagues, coaches. 

  • Help cul­ti­vate allies in your orga­ni­za­tions! Edu­cate the peo­ple you work with on women’s per­spec­tives, issues, and suc­cess­es in the workplace. 

  • Women are nat­ur­al team builders. Remem­ber to focus on the ​“me” as much as the ​“we”.
