Upcoming Summer Workshop: Learn to Tell Your Story

Telling Your Story is one of the most powerful tools you can develop as a leader working in any industry. Telling Your Story helps you to connect with your audience, project authenticity, and persuasively explain what you are good at and why. This is particularly important for women leaders who continue to struggle with conveying credibility and authenticity in the workplace.

This two and half hour workshop will help you understand the power of your story, give you a framework to build and tailor your story, and help you identify your go-to story. You'll even start to practice! Don't miss this opportunity to begin to build this core competency to Tell Your Story.

This workshop is led by leadership expert and Mine The Gap's co-founder, Jessica N. Grounds.

Mine The Gap Keynotes Women's Lunch at Greenbuild

Greenbuild is the world’s largest green building conference and expo. Each year, the women’s luncheon at Greenbuild attracts women working in Green industries from across North America. This year, the luncheon entitled — Leading With Purpose — was attended by over 700 women and Jessica N. Grounds of Mine The Gap was the featured speaker.

Jessica shared details about her work over the last two decades to champion women’s leadership through her work with WUFPAC, Running Start, Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Department of State and working with women leaders globally. She also shared insights from Mine The Gap’s recent cutting-edge research, #MeToo At Work, on gender dynamics in the workplace developed with FTI consulting. She called on participants to think of themselves as “gender catalysts” in their workplaces, a term coined by Mine The Gap that describes individuals working in industries to build gender balance, awareness, and inclusion.

As part of the luncheon program, participants were placed in four quadrants representing key areas impacting women at work including: workplace policy, mentorship, workplace culture, and leadership. Following Jessica’s TedTalk style speech, participants discussed questions related to one of these four topics and then shared their insight with the room during a “soap box” style sharing session. The program was a dynamic presentation and conversation about key issues impacting the lack of women in the critical fields of green building, technology, engineering, sustainability, and more.
