SUMMARY:Yale Ventures Lunch & Learn: Anne Spoldi\, Navigating a Career and Life You Never Planned
DESCRIPTION:​For those who are joining virtually: https://yale.zoom.us/j/92191635298 \n​Lunch and Learn with Anne Spoldi \n​The Long Way Here: Navigating a Career and Life You Never Planned \n​Most people believe successful careers and lives follow a carefully designed roadmap. Mine didn’t. \n​From scientist to marketer\, technology executive\, entrepreneur\, leadership coach\, and author\, my journey has been shaped by curiosity\, courage\, resilience\, and a willingness to embrace unexpected opportunities and life’s twists and turns. While I stopped trying to create a master plan for my life and career many years ago\, I never stopped being intentional about the choices I made along the way. \n​Using my personal Career Journey Map as a guide\, I’ll share stories\, lessons\, and practical frameworks that helped me navigate important decisions in both life and work\, including the role personal values have played in shaping my choices and transitions. \n​Along the way\, we’ll explore a belief that has shaped both my career and coaching philosophy: leadership is not a title. The first person we all need to lead is ourselves. Every one of us is leading our lives\, our choices\, our careers\, our teams\, our ideas\, or our communities. \n​Whether you’re building a venture\, pursuing research\, launching your career\, earning an advanced degree\, or considering your next chapter\, this session will encourage you to think differently about success\, leadership\, and building a meaningful career and life when the path forward isn’t always clear. \n​My hope is that you’ll leave inspired to trust yourself\, listen to your heart\, and remember that a meaningful career and life are shaped not only by the opportunities we embrace\, but by the choices we make along the way.

SUMMARY:From Stuck to Strategic: Leadership in the Age of AI - Hosted by WEST
DESCRIPTION:Every leader in your network is under pressure to ‘just AI it.’ Most are navigating that pressure privately — uncertain\, overwhelmed\, and unwilling to say so out loud. \nThis talk led by Dr. Amber J. Conley names what’s actually happening: GenAI doesn’t just change workflows — it threatens identity\, expertise\, and relevance. That’s not a tech problem. That’s a psychology problem. \nThrough real stories\, a practical framework\, and guided reflection moments\, leaders leave with language for something they’ve felt but couldn’t name — and a clear path forward. \nYou will leave with \n\nA framework for understanding why AI adoption stalls at the leadership level\nLanguage for the anxiety they’ve been managing alone\nThree things effective leaders do differently right now\nOne honest reflection they can act on immediately\n\nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Amber Conley has spent 25 years asking one question: what actually helps people lead well when the ground keeps shifting? That question took her from 12 years at IBM to strategy consulting at BCG to a PsyD in Leadership Psychology — and now to coaching executives and emerging leaders navigating one of the most disorienting shifts of their careers: AI. She teaches leadership at Endicott College’s School of Business\, coaches through her practice Elevate Your Leadership\, and brings the same belief to every room she’s in: the most powerful leadership development happens when insight meets action.
