The professional development & networking event series run by veski provides the opportunity to hear from inspiring panelists, engage with peers in interactive workshops, and network with Victorian women and men across science, research, innovation and industry. At this event attendees heard from specialists in online and off-line media and communications, personal branding, as well as industry-based peers sharing tips on storytelling and “putting your best foot forward”.
Dina’s workshop focused on the use of strengths to build confidence, resilience and energy. She shared with the attendees that working with your strengths brings you energy, and you should therefore not only work with your known strengths, but seek to uncover your unrealised strengths to work with them as well. It’s empowering to share your strengths with someone else, and to seek feedback from others to help uncover unrealised strengths – this represents what you have to offer. By marshalling your realised strengths and maximising your unrealised ones you give yourself the opportunity to flourish and to reach your potential.
