Title of the session: Beyond technical skills: Leveraging the Carpentries for professional development

Session details

• Session type: Breakout session

• Keywords: leadership, communication, facilitation, organization, professional skills

• Permission to record this session: Yes

Abstract

For folks coming from an academic background, it can be difficult to both identify and develop professional skills that aren't explicitly related to our field of research. This breakout session will help participants identify and assess professional skills they would like to explore, and help locate potential pathways in Carpentries to meet those needs.

• Co-leads' names (we recommend involving 2 helpers/co-leads): Lauren Wolfe

• Email or other ways to contact the session leads/co-leads: k8hertweck@gmail.com/@k8hertweck, @lakikowolfe

• Country of residence and/or compatible Time Zones (provide options): USA, Pacific

• Would you like to present this multiple times, in other time zones: Potentially yes, but difficult to commit to more time right now

• Would you like to volunteer to be listed as a wrangler/host for your time zone: Yes

Is there any help you would like to invite from the community? Please provide below in bullet points.

• This session will be discussion-based and interactive, so everyone attending will be assisting!

Hi @k8hertweck, the organising committee reviewed this session proposal and had this to say:

This will be an invaluable session for The Carpentries community, and it is such a delight to read that 'everyone attending will be assisting' - so aligned with The Carpentries' collaboration-driven ethos!

We are looking forward to your session, and more details i.e. around scheduling will be shared with you in the coming days. Let me know if I can answer any questions or clarify anything for the time being.
