Please join us in praying for alumna Katherine Reilly and her five year-old son, who are in the hospital after a shooting this week in Northwest DC.

Her husband Patrick has shared the following statement through the press: "We thank our family, friends, and community for keeping Katie and our son in their thoughts and continue to ask for privacy during this difficult time. Tell your loved ones how you feel today and hug them tightly. Give blood if you can. Thank you."

Sixty-two and sunny...with such perfect weather, can you think of a better way to kick off your Saturday than some time outdoors? We hope to see for our NDWC hike tomorrow!

TODAY! Join us as we discuss how to communicate with more confidence - no preparation is required!

"Instead of doubting yourself, instead of justifying and explaining away your successes, instead of apologizing, I want you to thank yourself." - Professor Maja Jovanovic

https://www.facebook.com/events/536818270626021

"100% of the time, when I interrupt another woman and I say, 'Why did you just apologize for that?' First, she says sorry for saying sorry. But, what she then says is, 'I don't even know.' Because it has become our habitual way of communicating, and we need to stop killing our confidence." - Professor Maja Jovanovic

Want to learn how to communicate more effectively? Join NDWC DC tomorrow for our discussion of Professor Jovanoic's TEDx talk! There is no need to watch the talk in advance, as we'll kick off this TED Circle discussion by watching the video together before moving into a facilitated discussion.

https://www.facebook.com/events/536818270626021

Are you looking for ways to enhance your career? Join NDWC DC next week for a TED Circle discussion on how to communicate with confidence!

No preparation is required - just tune in next Wednesday!
https://www.facebook.com/events/536818270626021

"How can we switch out all this apologetic lingo for something that's more confidence-inducing? The next time somebody bumps into you, you could say 'Go ahead,' 'Your turn,' or 'After you.' You don't have to insert an apology."

Maja Jovanovic is a professor who, after noticing women presenting at a conference tended to discount their own expertise when men did not, asked her research assistants to keep track of everything they apologized for in the past month. The women working with her responded with these examples and more. Join NDWC to discuss Prof. Jovanovic's TEDx talk - no preparation required!

https://www.facebook.com/events/536818270626021

"Apologies have become our habitual way of communicating. And it's killing our confidence." - Professor Maja Jovanovic

Join NDWC DC for a discussion on how we can advance our careers by stopping the apologies, accepting compliments, and supporting our colleagues. No preparation is required!
