Lately, it seems you can’t go even a few days without news of yet another round of mass layoffs being announced on your LinkedIn stream.

Though they are sometimes necessary to keep an organization afloat, some of the methods being reported (e.g. finding out via your email account being cut off, severance payments appearing overnight, losing access to Slack and other platforms, etc) just don’t sit well and leave many wondering–what now? 

If you’ve lost your main contributors to DEI work, do those efforts simply dissolve? How can folks who remain continue to push for a commitment to inclusive and equitable workplaces? 

If you’re a DEI professional on the other side of a layoff, how can you utilize this experience to redefine your career goals and be strategic in your job search?

Is it possible to prevent burnout for everyone involved? 

We’re connecting with two of today’s top voices on leadership, DEI, recruiting, and personal well-being to gain their insights into how layoffs are shifting workplace culture and how to navigate the impact without compromising on our commitment to creating a more equitable, empowering working world. 

Join us on March 23rd at 12:30 pm PST/3:30 pm EST to hear from Dan Roth and Nadia De Ala exclusively on Collective+.

Thu, January 19, 2023, 12:00 PM PT / 3:00 PM ET

Virtual Workshop

Planning ahead for the new year can feel intimidating when you don't have a clear vision of where you want to be and what steps you need to get there. Don't feel pressured to stay the same - embrace the change in your aspirations, priorities, and dreams as you grow.

That's where we come in :).

We designed this 90-minute workshop to help you claim your North Star (aka your biggest, wildest dreams), build attainable goals that align with your values, and step outside of old habits that hold you back from self-advocating and thriving.

Here’s what typically happens: We limit our dreams to be “logical” and “more realistic" which translates into playing it safe and playing small on a daily basis. As a result, we stop ourselves from truly reaching our highest potential in our careers, and worst, stop ourselves from having fulfilled lives.

📝 Takeaways:

• The root causes of internal and external challenges women of color face that show up as burnout, imposter syndrome, and playing small.

• How to identify your personal North Star.

• How to set values-aligned goals.

• How to explore and answer important existential questions like “What would make me happy” and “What is the impact I want to make as a leader?”

• Ways to commit and take actionable steps forward.

This workshop includes a visualization, writing exercises, and time for Q&A.

**Refund policy**

There will be no refunds for this event. By purchasing a ticket, you are agreeing to our refund policy. All ticket holders will receive a recording of the workshop via email.

Learning how to give and receive feedback is essential to your personal and professional growth. Join us in confidently molding that skill.

Research shows that Black, Indigenous, people of color, women, and historically marginalized people are systematically less likely to receive critical feedback tied to business outcomes and their career advancement.

As a result, women of color face a huge leadership and pay gap that stops us from reaching our full career potential and our full earning potential, where we're missing out on anywhere from $400k to $1 million in a 40-year career.

It’s time to break that cycle, and reach your full potential in ways that feel empowering and authentic to you.

This workshop is designed to jumpstart your confidence and overcome any fears and behavior patterns that stop you from advocating for yourself and creating mutually beneficial relationships that help you advance in your career. Let’s grow together.

Takeaways

• The importance of advice for BIPOC professionals, women, and historically marginalized communities

• Understand mindsets that typically hold us back from self-advocating

• Mindset and strategies to give and receive critical advice to advance in your career

• Creating aligned communication with your managers, direct reports, and cross-functional stakeholders

• A holistic approach to taking up space and advocating during your annual and performance review cycles, regular 1-on-1 meetings, and daily interactions

• Training + Coaching and Q&A at the end

The statistics don’t lie –  women are systemically underpaid compared to men, even more so for women of color.

Join the IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) Committee for a free virtual panel on Thursday, May 12 from 12-1pm.

Our three experts will share practical tips for negotiating salaries and raises, advice on how to find empowerment in the face of systemic inequity and oppression, and how to make real change not only for yourself, but for others.

This panel centers the experiences of women of color and is open to all allies. Registration is free, but you must RSVP to receive access to our event.

Event Information

March 24 is the next Equal Pay Day- this is NOT a celebration.

March 24 symbolizes the number of additional days that the average U.S. woman has to work to earn what the average white man made the previous year. That's $0.82 for every dollar.

But that's only part of the #EqualPay story. For many communities of womxn, the gap is much wider.

We are worth more.

Join Nadia de Ala for a workshop in Closing the Intersectional Gender Pay Gap!


The Kapor Capital Equal Pay Day Series presents:

I'm Worth It: Mindsets & Tactics for Closing the Intersectional Pay Gap 

w/ Nadia de Ala

This year, an Asian American / Pacific Islander woman is paid $0.87 for every $1.00 paid white, non-Hispanic men, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars over a 40-year career.

But, that's only part of the #AAPIEqualPay story. For certain communities, the wage gap is far greater. Vietnamese women earn $0.67, Hmong women earn $0.61, and Burmese women earn only $0.52, making them some of the lowest paid people in the nation.

This virtual talking circle is for AAPI womxn in (or aspiring to be in) tech and their allies. Learn from and with our AAPI pay equity squad as they drop knowledge, share learnings, and stories on:

• the pay gap

• self-advocacy

• the bamboo ceiling

• the harmful impacts of model minority rhetoric

• the myth of a monolithic Asian identity

• the importance of intersectional allyship

It's time to #LevelUpOurAAPIWomen and close the pay gap.

We all need money to pay the bills, support our community, and create our dream lifestyle. To make that paper, you need to confidently ask for a rate or salary that reflects your incredible value, and control how you influence and show up in your relationships with stakeholders. 

Join this webinar if asking for what you deserve and need in business scares you, and you’ve ever had any of these thoughts in the back of your mind: 

● “I don’t want them to think I’m greedy if I ask for more...” 
● “I just want to get my foot through the door and prove myself first...” 
● “I don’t think I have the leverage to ask for more because I was laid off...” 
● “If I say what I really think, they'll retaliate and say I’m being difficult...” 

In this webinar, we’ll get real about the mindsets that typically stop Asian, Pacific Islanders, and first-gen women from self-advocating, speaking up, and claiming the pay, positions, and relationships that they deserve. 

All are welcome: This is designed for all self-identified API women, including cis, gay, straight, non-binary, and trans womxn -- if you're looking to level up your pay, positions, and recognition in your career come through. AND any and all allies are welcome because we ALL gotta get paid and support one another. 

Takeaways

- You’ll identify and manage the self-critical and self-sabotaging voices that typically stop API women from negotiating well or negotiating at all 
- Ways you can apply negotiation into your daily life, outside of interviewing and performance reviews 
- Immediate steps you can take to get clear on your compensation goals, organize what to say at the negotiation table and be confident in your value 
- A list of things you should avoid saying in your negotiation conversations (and life) and things you should start saying TODAY 

Preparation

Bring a pen, a notebook, questions, but most importantly, bring yourself!
