Coaching and the STEM Professional

摘要

When Evelyn Jabri, Ph.D. left the academic world for a position with the corporate sector, she quickly realized she had to alter her communication style to interact effectively in a business setting. The change was a slow process, riddled with trial and error, until her first AWIS coaching session. During that coaching call, Evelyn and her coach, Marlanda English, Ph.D., explored how she interacted with and related to others in her workplace. Together they brain-stormed strategies to improve her effectiveness in dealing with specific work situations. Evelyn left the call with a keen awareness of how important it is to communicate with others in a way that they can hear and understand.
