create Calagator::Event 1250467069 ChickTech Imposter Syndrome Workshop Roll back

description nil → More more info and to RSVP, please visit the eventbrite link above. Cost of the workshop is $15 for students and $20 for community members. Have you ever felt like a fraud? Do you attribute your successes to luck or chance? Do you feel inadequate despite evidence to the contrary and worry that others will “find you out”? If you answered yes to any of these questions - guess what, you are not alone! You merely have a case of . . . Imposter Syndrome. What is Imposter Syndrome? Come join us for an evening and find out! We will kick off the night with dinner and our Keynote speaker, Vanessa Van Edwards (http://www.scienceofpeople.com/about-vanessa-van-edwards/). We will then break into small groups to discuss how Imposter Syndrome affects us in our everyday lives and do activities that help build confidence in the value we bring to the table. Still not convinced? Tina Fey, Maya Angelou, and Sheryl Sandberg have all admitted to feeling like imposters in their careers at some point. If these "low-achieving" women can overcome the thickets of Imposter Syndrome so can you! We hope to see you at the workshop! Please note, although this is a female-centered workshop, everyone is welcome to attend. Please see ChickTech's inclusion policy for more detail (http://chicktech.org/about-us/inclusion-policy/). <strong>Dinner and supplies are included in the cost of this workshop.</strong>

description Product Managers need good information to make good decisions. But how do you get this information? There are many online surveys at your disposal, such as SurveyMonkey, SurveyGizmo, and SurveyWriter, but any one of them can be subverted by bad survey design. This event will give you an overview of how to plan research properly, how to write a good questionnaire so you can obtain meaningful information, and decide which self-service survey tool will best encourage users to complete your survey to deliver significant results. **Panelists:** **Confirmed: Steve Boespflug, Director of Research at Pivot Group** Steve has worked in market research for 21 years.

We’ll focus on the multidisciplinary nature of Web work, moving beyond the tools and the technology to look at the human side of creating online experiences. We’ll look at the WHY. We all consume the Web. We watch videos, we join social networks, we read articles or posts. Many of us contribute to the Web. We blog, we make Vines, we share photos, we post to Reddit. And some of us help create the Web. We write code, we build apps, we design interfaces.

create Calagator::Event 1250467055 Managing and Utilizing Big Data for Your Workforce | HR Event Roll back

description nil → Managing and Utilizing Big Data for Your Workforce | HR Event It’s been said that Big Data is like dating in middle school - everyone talks about it, but nobody knows what they’re doing. We aim to help change that. What information can/should/must we collect from employees, and how do we connect it to large business and benefits management systems? Join us on October 7th as we explore Big Data and What it Means to Your Workforce. Panelists: Eric Wilson, Principal, HR Integrated Solutions -- Eric will try to separate the fact from fiction with regard to how big data is likely to impact the future of HR. How do you determine what data you should consider acquiring and from what sources? Once you get your hands on the information how do you turn that “raw” data into something that is actionable, with potentially predictive relevance? How do you present the data in a way that can drive decisions to achieve organizational change? This should be a thought-provoking primer regarding the relevance of Big Data in HR. Check back for additional panelists.

create Calagator::Event 1250467051 CrowdSource Summit: A conference for emerging web professionals Roll back

description nil → CrowdSource Summit, presented by the Higher Education Web Professionals Association, is a new conference for college and university students who want to explore the many possibilities that “working on the Web” encompasses. We’ll focus on the multidisciplinary nature of Web work, moving beyond the tools and the technology to look at the human side of creating online experiences. We’ll look at the WHY. We all consume the Web. We watch videos, we join social networks, we read articles or posts. Many of us contribute to the Web. We blog, we make Vines, we share photos, we post to Reddit. And some of us help create the Web. We write code, we build apps, we design interfaces. CrowdSource Summit will help you make the move from consumer to contributor to creator, whatever your level of technical prowess. **Registration is only $50, which includes sessions, meals, and a t-shirt!**
