….is defined as the capacity of a system to return to its original state after being disturbed (e.g., stretched, bent, compressed, moved). For humans, a more specific definition is the ability to recover readily from adversity or setbacks.
I’m taking a break from the discussion of the Blue Ocean Strategy to mention a new program that researchers at Arizona State University have designed. It’s called CareerWISE and will be an online resource that offers personal resilience training for women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields. This program is designed to enhance skills in coping with personal and interpersonal challenges that women face in working toward graduate degrees and developing careers in STEM fields. It is specifically designed to address the loss of women from science and engineering doctoral programs.

The new website is scheduled to be launched on November 4 at the National Science Foundation headquarters in Arlington, Va. NSF funded research on psychology and behaviors of women while pursuing careers in STEM. The website is a product of this research.
Some of the features to be offered on the website:
-Multi-media, web-based training using both text and video examples from interviews, focus groups, and the literature.
-Hundreds of HerStory clips from video interviews with women who have successfully navigated the sometimes treacherous waters of graduate school in various STEM fields
You can sign up to attend NSF’s public briefing for the release of the CareerWISE website here.
The briefing will include an introduction by Joan Ferrini-Mundy, NSF Asst. Dir., followed by a demonstration of the CareerWISE website.
Location: NSF headquarters, 4201 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA, Stafford 1, Room 110
When: Nov. 4, 2010, 4:30-6:00 pm EDT
