<H3>EDIT: Tickets are all gone now! If you are still interested in the workshop please shoot us an email under 500ws.london@gmail.com - we have a waiting list and will contact you for any future events that are similar!</H3>
 
The 500WS London Pod is presenting a special training event for its members and all other female and non-binary scientists who would like to join.
The event will be a 2 hour training workshop about networking (and in particular networking as a woman/nb scientist in a male-dominated space) delivered by Alexandra Spencer from the Royal Society of Biology. Afterwards there will be a 2 hour reception for those who would like to stay and apply their newly acquired networking skills!
The event is free to attend but since we are limited for space we request that you get a ticket via Eventbrite so we can control numbers. 
About the workshop 
Networking is an important part of building a successful scientific career, there’s no getting around it! 
So how can we get more comfortable with networking? How can we harness networking as a force for good and not see it as a tedious extra?
Join 500 Women Scientists at this interactive evening workshop, exploring how to overcome some of the typical obstacles encountered when speaking to people we don’t know, and how to appear assertive to others when networking, even if we don’t quite feel it yet. 
Together we will look at:
<UL>
<LI>How our perceptions of people shapes the way we view ourselves.</LI>
<LI>What we can do to challenge our own assumptions. </LI>
<LI>Practical strategies for projecting assertiveness whilst networking at events. </LI>
</UL>
 
We’ll then finish the evening with refreshments to continue the conversation together. 
Remember, you never know who you’ll meet!
