5. [HGWISE and McKinsey] A Dialogue on Leadership for Women (Fri, July 22,
3-5:30p)
When: Friday, July 22nd, program from 3:00 - 4:30 PM, followed by a casual

Where: The Common Room @ the Dudley House
RSVP: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HGWISE

We are excited to invite you to a dialogue on leadership for women that
HGWISE is co-hosting with McKinsey on Friday, July 22.  This program is
designed for
 all women graduate students, whether you are pursuing an academic,
industry, or consulting career (details below).

The program will focus on "Centered Leadership" - a distinctive
approach to developing
leaders.  Centered Leadership was created as part of the Women's initiative
at McKinsey, with roots in positive psychology, research on leadership, and
interviews women with leaders from around the world.  It evolved from the
desire to understand what drives success for women in all professional walks
of life. More recently, the program has expanded to help women better
cultivate the skills and mindsets needed on their journey to become leaders
be it in academia or the corporate world.  Its five themes form a holistic
approach to leadership that sustains women as they take on increasingly
challenging roles. These themes are:
 -- Meaning:  finding your purpose and strengths and deploying them in your
work to flourish
-- Energizing:  knowing where your energy comes from, how it is drained, and
what you can do to manage it
-- Framing:  adopting a more constructive way to view your world, expanding
your horizons, and gaining the confidence and resilience to move ahead
 -- Connecting:  identifying who can help you grow and finding your place
among them
-- Engaging:  finding your voice and taking ownership of your opportunities

We will introduce Centered Leadership and then focus our discussion on
"Framing and Connecting".  We hope the afternoon will be fun, interesting,
and inspiring, and we are excited to have several Harvard and HGWISE alumni
on the McKinsey team, including Mary Rozenman, Sumin Koo, and Daina
Graybosch. Mary and Daina both served as President of Harvard Women in
Chemistry during grad school so come take this great opportunity to learn
more about Harvard's women science groups!
