Dr. Storey-Johnson will draw from her training at the Harvard Macy Institute to guide participants in self exploration as well as group exercises to offer new perspectives on mid-career faculty professional challenges. Attendees will engage in two interactive exercises designed to build insight into and provide tools to manage professional challenges and career paths. These activities are intended to help participants assess how well core values are bring expressed through daily professional life and how one might visualize the route to a desired career future. Join us in practicing these techniques with the hope that they will be useful to you in the future as well.

FOCUS is pleased to be able to offer this unique opportunity to expand your professional network; to explore as a group those issues specific to your evolving professional needs; and, to strategize and group mentor among senior women faculty at Penn.
