Trust: A Leader’s Currency for High-Performing Teams (Alumni Webinar Series)
Date: June 11, 2025
Time: 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm
Location: Virtual Venue (Online)
Trust is a foundation of leadership and teamwork, and without it, leaders cannot influence, inspire, or collaborate effectively. In this webinar, we’ll explore why trust is often referred to as the "new workplace currency" leading to higher productivity, stronger relationships, and a more engaged workforce.
You’ll learn the key foundations of trust—competence and character—and discover how to build trust incrementally through consistent, reliable behavior. We’ll also discuss the risks and rewards of trust, how it’s cultivated over time, and why it is growing or diminishing based on your actions. Join us to learn how to foster a culture of trust that enables your team to achieve more together than any one person can alone.

Date: June 6, 2025
Time: 9:30 am until 10:30 am

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to take advantage of the hidden job market and be the first to learn about new opportunities.
This virtual workshop is designed for PhDs and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:
- What is the hidden job market?
- What is the most effective way to access it?
- How should I approach my job search to ensure I’m aware of all the opportunities open to me?
