Webinar description
HBA is proud to announce the launch of an exciting new webinar series, “Career Conversations," which is designed to support the career development and advancement of women in healthcare, regardless of position, experience, functional area or industry sector. Learn the importance of investing in yourself and your career while discovering strategies and tactics that will help you maximize the return on your investment. Each program features a discussion between a key thought leader in the field of career leadership/professional development and a recognized industry leader, who shares personal stories of career challenges, growth and achievement. Programs conclude with real-life questions submitted by the live audience.
In this first Career Conversation -- "Controlling Your Destiny: Recognizing Themes, Making Choices" -- Dr. Marian Ruderman, senior fellow and director, research horizons at the Center for Creative Leadership, highlights the importance of intentional career management. Drawing on findings from her book, "Standing at the Crossroads: Next Steps for High-Achieving Women," Dr. Ruderman presents an overview of the key themes that inform career decisions -- authenticity, connections, power, wholeness and self-clarity -- and provides strategies for exploring and learning from each. Joining the conversation is industry leader Nancy Miller-Rich, group vice president, new ventures, and strategic commercial development, Merck. Learn how Nancy navigated a complex career continuum with roles in marketing, sales, regulatory, manufacturing, legal, medical and research and senior management, both domestically and internationally. Moderated by Laurie Wessels, an executive coach with a long history of developing and supporting high-performing leaders, teams and cultures, this webinar provides both professional insight and personal inspiration for career development.
