SUMMARY:Women in Tech: Conscious Interoffice Communication
DESCRIPTION:Conscious interoffice communication is more important than ever. Are you able to you reign in your own emotions before and while speaking to others? Do you know how to adjust your message to match your audience? Do you know the personality styles of your peers\, direct reports and your leader? Are you able to lead a conversation about social injustice without loosing control? \nHowever\, while mindfulness is receiving a lot of press\, an expansion of the working from home environment has also made conscious communication more challenging. \n\nDo you give others your undivided attention? Or do you multitask when others are speaking?\nDo you turn off your video feed\, depriving others of non-verbal clues?\nHave you recorded yourself and examined your motions from the viewer’s perspective?\n\nJoin us to learn the basics of mindful communication and how to make adjustments for a WFH world. \nWe’re thrilled to welcome Carolyn Jenkins from EPSoft as the facilitator for this Women in Tech discussion. Carolyn Treviño Jenkins has more than 20 years of strategic leadership experience\, serving in various executive roles throughout her career\, including COO\, CEO\, strategic advisor and board contributor for several companies within the tech sector. As the co-founder of four technology start-ups—with three successful exits and one still in operation—Ms. Jenkins’ experience runs deep and wide. Today she serves as CSO and Head of the Product Division for EPSoft Technologies\, where she’s responsible for creating and executing the strategic vision of the organization.

SUMMARY:Variants\, Vaccines\, and the Future of "Pandemic Tech"
DESCRIPTION:One year ago\, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a pandemic and the US declared a national emergency. In a year\, we used technology to sequence the virus\, develop tests\, and create vaccines and treatments in record time and scale. However\, the virus has also evolved — we’re not out of the woods yet. \nIn this presentation\, UT Austin professors Ilya Finkelstein and colleagues will share exactly where the pandemic is in terms of vaccine and therapeutics\, how science and technology have helped create the treatments rapidly (and their role in it!)\, how to understand effectiveness and risks\, what virus variants we are seeing now\, and what the next steps are in using data\, science\, and technology in identifying and addressing SARS-CoV-2 variants and future pandemics. \nSARS-CoV-2 == virus\nCOVID-19 == disease caused by the virus

SUMMARY:Reverse-Engineering Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Organizations in various industries need engineers to step into leadership roles to help optimize project initiatives and outcomes\, while also driving innovation. However\, research demonstrates that engineers staunchly resist such roles because it conflicts with who they are and what they believe; “it’s just not who I am” is a common refrain. Oddly enough\, most\, if not all\, leadership skills and traits are already ingrained in an engineer’s existing skill set. Learning how to foster and kindle these skills to help promote better leadership qualities\, whether it be for personal gain\, to better manage team projects\, or strengthen higher-level position responsibilities are imperative to an engineer’s personal and career growth. \nThis series of 8 micro-courses provides participants with a roadmap to “reverse-engineer” their way into becoming an engineering leader by leveraging their analytical and technical skills to drive innovation\, optimize collaboration\, and improve team effectiveness. \nDesigned for the working professional\, earning micro-credentials and building on an existing skill set has never been easier. The Reverse-Engineering Leadership Micro-Course Series provides professionals with flexibility in advancing their skill set through a broad array of stackable credentials. At both a lower price point and shorter time commitment than other programs\, professionals can choose the number of micro-courses that best fit their needs\, and earn a micro-credential for each micro-course they complete. Display these individual micro credentials on LinkedIn\, or complete the whole series to earn a Reverse-Engineering Leadership Certificate. Your Reverse-Engineering Leadership learning journey is customizable to best fit your needs. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nUnderstand how to blend engineering skills with leadership qualities to help you evolve from a good leader to exceptional engineering leader.\nFlex your analytical/technical muscles to increase your level of influence and begin driving innovation in your organization.\nRecognize and begin to acquire the tools which will be essential in your upcoming roles and positions.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Evolving Crisis and the Potential Impact on Your Small Business
DESCRIPTION:We live in what feels like unprecedented times. Severe upheaval and dislocation in the systems and structures that have held society together are causing them to come apart in front of our very eyes. It is everywhere. In government and politics\, our education systems\, the environment\, science and medicine\, business\, and the economy\, even the arts and entertainment. \nHowever\, despite what is seemingly all chaos and disorder\, it is not. \nThere is an order and sequence to events that underlies U.S. history – a pattern that occurs over and over in the same cycle and can be traced back in the country’s earliest history. Just like the seasonal progression of winter\, spring\, summer\, and fall\, history has four turnings that occur sequentially in an 80-100 year epoch. We are at the end of this hundred year era\, which culminates in a Crisis in which everything comes undone and is remade. It has all happened before and\, while these times are not unprecedented in our history\, they are unprecedented for you. \nThis webinar is the first in a four-part Thought Leader Series in which we will examine different aspects of how this new season will impact your business. The series will feature subject matter experts to discuss how to identify the most advantageous markets for your company during these unpredictable times\, the type of liquidity which is most advantageous to maintain\, how to position your company to identity both opportunities and threats and how how to train your management team to deal with this new environment. You will leave with context and tools to assist you in navigating through all the turmoil and restructuring while positioning your business for success now and in the coming season\, in which many incredible opportunities will emerge. \nAs an added bonus for those that register by Monday\, March 1\, 2021 – vcfo will be sending you a copy of the book The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy by William Strauss and Neil Howe.* \n*Reading the book is NOT a prerequisite.*

SUMMARY:Texas Engineering TexTalks: Advancing Industry Through Innovation - Unlock Energy at Sea - Design of Offshore Platforms for Oil\, Gas and Wind
DESCRIPTION:For more than 100 years\, people have endeavored to unlock hydrocarbon resources beneath the sea. In the earliest days\, clever engineers used long piers jutting out into the ocean and lakes. Today\, energy is harvested from coastal locations to hundreds of miles from shore in water depths up to 3\,000 meters\, using fixed and floating offshore platforms. The evolution of technology and innovation in the design of fixed and floating offshore platforms has been integral to the success of the offshore energy industry. This talk will focus on the history of offshore structures and an introduction to the wide range of structural types and the skills needed to design\, build and install them. For further learning\, the University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering Executive Learning program offers three short courses on offshore platform design\, as well as a new Fundamentals of Offshore Engineering Professional Certificate. To learn more\, see: \nFundamentals of Offshore Structures (FOS): https://executive.engr.utexas.edu/epd/fos.php \nDesign of Fixed Offshore Platforms (DFOP): https://executive.engr.utexas.edu/epd/fixed.php \nDesign of Floating Production Systems (DFPS): https://executive.engr.utexas.edu/epd/floating.php \nFundamentals of Offshore Engineering Professional Certificate Program: https://executive.engr.utexas.edu/epd/offshore_cert.php.

SUMMARY:Technology and Innovation in the Middle East - is Bahrain your route to regional expansion?
DESCRIPTION:Bahrain Economic Development Board\, in partnership with the US Chamber of Commerce and Austin Technology Council\, invites you to join a tech-focused webinar for American Businesses titled ‘Technology and innovation in the Middle East – is Bahrain your route to regional expansion?’ on March 31st. \nWe’re pleased to announce Amazon Web Services\, which launched the region’s first hyperscale data centre in Bahrain in 2019\, as part of our panel line-up\, with Head of Middle East and Africa – Public Sector at AWS\, Mr. Zubin Chagpar\, speaking. \nWith the pandemic proving the necessity of holistic digital transformation across sectors\, can countries in the Middle East become drivers of innovation rather than consumers of innovation? The 50 minute event will cover digitalisation efforts across the region and how US companies can tap into the technology and innovation sectors using Bahrain as a gateway and hub. \nAs well as providing an overview of the technology and innovation landscape in the region\, our leading experts will delve into digital investment opportunities within the sector and the incentives\, funding schemes\, and regulations that make Bahrain a compelling destination for tech businesses. We hope it serves as a useful introduction to this persuasive opportunity\, not to mention a crucial guide for how best to access it. \nTo join us\, please click here to register. You can use the same link to log in on the day of the event. We look forward to meeting you. \n*Kindly note that the environment works best on Google Chrome.
