Decoding Power and Presence: How to Navigate Organizations and Show Up in High-Stakes Rooms
Organizations aren’t run by org charts alone. Beneath every structure is an invisible operating system — the flow of influence, unspoken rules, and subtle cues that shape how work actually gets done. The ability to move effectively across different leaders and rooms isn’t about having the biggest title; it’s about understanding power and showing up with clarity and confidence. In this workshop with Abid C., we’ll explore how to read organizational dynamics, recognize the informal networks that matter, and build presence that resonates in high-stakes environments. You’ll walk away with practical tools to strengthen your influence and navigate complex situations with credibility.
Pivoting from Academia to Industry
Pivoting from Academia to Industry Transitioning from academia into an industry role requires more than strong technical skills—it demands the ability to clearly communicate your value, reframe your academic experience, and navigate a hiring landscape that looks very different from university admissions.

Drawing on his experience as a lecturer, instructor, and former international student, Stefan will teach you how to translate research and teaching into industry-ready impact, present your skills with clarity, and approach your career transition with confidence.
