It's Girl Boss time.
Each year, the Tippie Women Summit presents a series of speakers who share insights and inspiration that are valuable to all.
Authentic Relationships
It’s possible that in an average week we spend more time with our co-workers than our family, and it's important to explore these work relationships to understand how vital they can be to help you thrive in your career.
This webinar will address building authentic workplace relationships in which you feel known and valued, guided by the research of Professor Amy Colbert and the insight of Iowa alumnus Renee Gullickson, DNP, ARNP, PMHNP-BC. You will leave this session equipped to forge powerfully authentic and mutually supportive relationships with your colleagues.
Live & Learn
“Learn from your mistakes.” We’ve heard this mantra many times, but if we are honest, we know this can be challenging. Our panel of distinguished alumni will share their stories of mistakes, regrets and lessons learned. Join us as we discover how such experiences can help us grow.
Breaking the Impostor Syndrome
Many people experience the so-called "impostor syndrome" despite their success in the workplace. It holds them back from pursuing challenging opportunities, leads to overworking and burnout, and takes a huge emotion toll. Tippie Associate Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship and Pioneer Research Fellow Rong Su will highlight how you can overcoming barriers to career success by challenging existing conceptions and establishing a renewed understanding about the impostor experience.

Stepping up to Leadership as Women

They’ll discuss how they prepared for leadership opportunities and provide insight on how you can be ready for your professional development.
Integrating Work and Life for Women
Most people are familiar with the term "work-life balance," but what if we thought of it as "work life management" instead?
