</span><b><b>RSVP: </b></b><a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HGWISE" target="_blank">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HGWISE</a><br><span style="font-weight:normal"><br>We are excited to invite you to a dialogue on leadership for women that HGWISE </span><span style="font-weight:normal">is co-hosting with McKinsey on Friday, July 22. This program is designed for</span><br style="font-weight:normal">
<span style="font-weight:normal">
all women graduate students, whether you are pursuing an academic, industry, or </span><span style="font-weight:normal">consulting career (details below).</span><span style="font-weight:normal"></span><br style="font-weight:normal">
<span style="font-weight:normal">
</span><br style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">
The program will focus on "Centered Leadership" - a distinctive approach to </span><span style="font-weight:normal">developing leaders. Centered Leadership was created as part of the Women's </span><span style="font-weight:normal">initiative at McKinsey, with roots in positive psychology, research on </span><span style="font-weight:normal">leadership, and interviews women with leaders from around the world. It </span><span style="font-weight:normal">evolved from the desire to understand what drives success for women in all </span><span style="font-weight:normal">professional walks of life. More recently, the program has expanded to help </span><span style="font-weight:normal">women better cultivate the skills and mindsets needed on their journey to </span><span style="font-weight:normal">become leaders be it in academia or the corporate world. Its five themes form </span><span style="font-weight:normal">a holistic approach to leadership that sustains women as they take on </span><span style="font-weight:normal">increasingly challenging roles. These themes are: </span><br style="font-weight:normal">
<span style="font-weight:normal">
-- Meaning: finding your purpose and strengths and deploying them in your work</span><span style="font-weight:normal"> to flourish</span><br style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">
-- Energizing: knowing where your energy comes from, how it is drained, and </span><span style="font-weight:normal">what you can do to manage it</span><br style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">
-- Framing: adopting a more constructive way to view your world, expanding your </span><span style="font-weight:normal">horizons, and gaining the confidence and resilience to move ahead</span><br style="font-weight:normal">
<span style="font-weight:normal">
-- Connecting: identifying who can help you grow and finding your place among </span><span style="font-weight:normal">them</span><br style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">
-- Engaging: finding your voice and taking ownership of your opportunities</span><br style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">
</span><br style="font-weight:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">
We will introduce Centered Leadership and then focus our discussion on "Framing</span><span style="font-weight:normal"> and Connecting". We hope the afternoon will be fun, interesting, and </span><span style="font-weight:normal">inspiring, and we are excited to have several Harvard and HGWISE alumni on the </span><span style="font-weight:normal">McKinsey team, including Mary Rozenman, Sumin Koo, and Daina Graybosch. Mary </span><span style="font-weight:normal">and Daina both served as President of Harvard Women in Chemistry during grad</span> <span style="font-weight:normal">school so come take this great opportunity to learn more about Harvard's women </span><span style="font-weight:normal">science groups!</span><br style="font-weight:normal">
