Workshop: Cultivate a Growth Mindset

Explore key topics such as the importance of mentorship, building professional acumen, and strategies for effective succession planning.

Workshop: Practicing Inclusive Language

Virtual Workshop brought to you by Next Pivot Point 

Many words or phrases that used to be very commonplace are now recognized as exclusionary and have been replaced with more inclusive language. Our words matter—what we choose to say and not say signals to people what we value, and focusing on inclusive language can help make people who have been historically marginalized feel more included. Language is one of the biggest signals of culture, so it’s critical that inclusive organizations practice using inclusive language.

 

Workshop: Building a Career Game Plan

Virtual Workshop brought to you by Next Pivot Point 

Women with a plan win. In fact, their chances of success are 80% higher.

Her engaging approach welcomes story and strategy sharing across diverse groups. Participants walk away with tangible commitments to take action on right away.

Did you know that every year, TRB publishes over 200 reports, engages more than 8,500 active volunteers, has around 500 standing committees and expert panels, initiates more than 140 research contracts, and hosts the TRB Annual Meeting—a transportation research conference with 13,000+ attendees?
