Abstract:
Chemical engineers are high achievers. We seek efficiency and productivity in operations as well as in our personal and professional lives. Being promoted to management or to a technical expert role is a goal for many of us. Yet while a chemical engineering degree can prepare us to work on kinetics, heat transfer, and fluid flow, we often miss out on the best tools and techniques for negotiating the career minefield.
In this presentation, you will learn three tips to advance your career. First, you will learn how to speak the language of your stakeholders whether they are senior executives, vendors, customers, or direct reports. Next, you will practice a quick technique to build your muscles in strategic networking. Finally, you will access ideas to balance time among meetings, quality work, and leisure.
Being trained as a chemical engineer opens a wide field of career and job opportunities. Join us to learn how to successfully navigate transitions to higher level positions.
