How educators are getting Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) built into the school curriculum and engaging students in extra-curricular UAS projects and competitions.  These efforts are creating new opportunities and paths to employment by generating interest, skills, and inspiration for diverse careers in the UAS industry.

We will be answering these 3 important questions:

• What’s happening in the classroom?

The Unstoppable Series

Choose Your Energy. Empower Your Career Choices. 

With Lesley Picchietti

Hey! This event is at an UNUSUAL TIME

Date: Wednesday, June 15^th, 2022
Time: 7:00 – 8:30 pm CST
Location:  Zoom Call, FREE Virtual “IT” Community event

Moderator: Laurie Swanson, InspiHER Tech Founder and #1 Career Sherpa for Women in Tech

So many choices. So much confusion. Should I stay an individual contributor or move into management? Do I change jobs or stay put? Do I join that startup or stick with the F50? Do I relocate with my current role or find something new? Is now the right time to negotiate a pay raise? What if I make a mistake? 

According to a survey by job search website Joblist, about 75% of workers considered quitting in 2021. Keyword…considered. Did you consider changing but then felt overwhelmed by all the options and decisions required? Did you feel energetically drained? What if there was a framework that could help. What if you understood your 7 levels of energy and could lean into your choices with more clarity – and have agency over what the next best action (or non-action) is for you?

You have a voice and a choice to the energy you bring to work and life.  June 15, 2022, Unstoppable Series event, hosted by InspiHER Tech, will inspire you to create clarity out of chaos and confusion. Energy diva Lesley Picchietti will share a practical framework for creating choices, opportunities and action steps. Your mother might have said it first, and we’ll back her up: choices lead to freedom – especially when it comes to your career.

The big question: as a former professional jazz singer, might Lesley break into song? There’s only one way to find out. Sign up for the June Unstoppable.

You’ll learn how to:

• Unpack your career baggage (is it holding you back?)
• Use the 7 levels of energy to create deliberate choices – today!
• Learn how to develop a greater connection with others
• Uncover your leadership style that people are naturally attracted to
• Create greater ease in your daily life
• Discover clarity around your options – from your hidden inner energy source
• See work moments as opportunities, not challenges that make you wilt
