In this workshop together, we'll tackle delivering talking points in a way that motivates, inspires, and ultimately influences audiences. Participants will hone their ability to engage others by reading the room, using creative thinking and rhetorical devices, and speaking with intention. There will be the opportunity to practice in a fun, supportive environment. 

Ever wondered how many Yalies are there in the North and South America region? Ever wondered who they are, what they do, what can you do together? They might cross your street every day without knowing it… Connect with them in a casual setting and find out!

Ever wondered how many Yalies are there in the Asia Pacific region? Ever wondered who they are, what they do, what can you do together? They might cross your street every day without knowing it… Connect with them in a casual setting and find out! 

The Asia Pacific Get-together will be hosted monthly April-June during the 4th week of the month:

• Are you prepared for the interview?
• Are you ready to apply for that promotion?
• Do you sometimes doubt that you belong in a leadership position?

Sarah Jakle combines her background of a Master in Social Work and a Master in Public Policy to help women overcome internal barriers and lead with confidence - investing in a successful pipeline of women for leadership positions.

Women leave with an understanding that imposter syndrome is not their fault, how to name and normalize it, and concrete research-backed skills to overcome it. Sarah combines easy to understand science with a passionate belief that women are amazing and there are steps they can take to realize their full potential - investing in women ready to lead and ready to thrive.

Join us for a robust conversation with Dr. Patricia Nez Henderson '94 MPH, '00 MD, and Karen Green '78 from YASC to learn more about the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation has approximately 417,671 members and is the most populous tribe in the United States. Although approximately 173,637 members reside in Diné Bikéyah or Navajoland, a more than equal number of members reside in bordering towns, as well as urban and other areas around the U.S. Consisting of  more than 27,000 square miles in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado, the Navajo Nation land base is the largest Native American reservation in the U.S.  It's land base is greater than the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont combined and larger than 10 states. 

During this session, Dr. Henderson, who was the first American Indian woman to graduate from Yale School of Medicine, will discuss health policy and advocacy, the impact these health policies are having on the Navajo Nation, and the role traditional healers are playing in the development of these health policies. We will also discuss the potential to organize a YASC service program in the future, which builds on the visit by the YASC Advisory Board to the Navajo Nation in June 2023. Karen will moderate the discussion.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the Navajo Nation, ask questions, and get involved.

This event will be recorded.
