A 5-Step Framework for Women Navigating Life Transitions

This event has ended. The recording is no longer available.

Learn to navigate personal and professional life changes to build a more empathetic work environment for yourself and others.

Event Information

Maternity leave. Job reorganization or restructuring. A role or career change. Experiencing a loss. Retirement. Each of these transitions, whether personal or professional, comes with its own unique set of challenges—challenges that can upend the way you move through your daily life as a woman leader. Learning how to navigate these kinds of changes in your personal and professional life can create a work environment where empathy is extended to both you and to others.

During this session, you’ll be introduced to the SNAP to Impact framework developed by our speaker, Dr. Krista Klein. This framework will weave together the following five key steps to help you learn strategies for navigating personal and professional transitions in community with other women higher educational professionals:

Self-reflection
Navigating uncertainty and accepting the unknown
Adapting to changing roles
Processing burnout, stress, and trauma
Impact: How do you make meaning and impact others? How can you advocate at the structural level?

Who should attend?

Faculty, staff, and leaders across campus who identify as women will benefit most from this program, but all are welcome to join.
