Negotiating for Success Workshop – April 30

Many women fail to recognize opportunities to negotiate — about their compensation and roles, about the support they need to be successful, about the resources to get the job done, and about buy-in from their peers and those they lead.

We are excited that Nancy Stapley, Vice President of BPW Calgary, will host the Negotiating for Success workshop for BPW Calgary members on Saturday, April 30 from 10 AM – 12 PM.

This session will draw attention to how women can proactively negotiate for conditions of personal and career success, and assess ways that women may be unknowingly undermining themselves.

In this workshop, we discuss how, by mastering a few basic principles, anyone can become an effective negotiator. In role plays on effective strategies for negotiation, as well as possible compensation pitfalls and how to avoid them, we will explore how women can remain authentic and maintain interpersonal relationships while maximizing the value of their negotiation.

To RSVP, please email info@BPWCalgary.com.

April’s Dinner: Songwriter, vocalist & keyboardist Kenna Burima joins us and Young BPW hosts book club

1517526_10152231900485801_844091628_nWe are very excited to welcome our keynote speaker, Kenna Burima, to our April dinner meeting. As a songwriter, vocalist and keyboardist Kenna lives and breathes music. Her musical projects illustrate the diversity of her artistic process and her current solo project features an amalgamation of all that she does; classical, rock, cabaret, jazz, folk, garage, and metal.

Kenna became obsessed with playing the piano at an early age and her love of the music of dead, European men; Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and Chopin continues to the present. After high school, Kenna moved to Calgary to pursue an artist diploma in piano from the Mount Royal Conservatory and later a degree in music from the University of Calgary. Years later, she continues to split her time between learning Beethoven sonatas and transcribing Black Sabbath for piano.

We can’t wait to hear Kenna speak to our members about her musical experiences!

unnamedWe’re also pleased that Young BPW Calgary will be hosting their annual book club at the April dinner meeting. This year’s book is Daring Greatly by Dr. Brené Brown. Brown is a researcher and thought leader who offers a powerful new vision that encourages us to dare greatly, to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives. The book will be discussed over dinner.
