The invariable answer: when someo ne like a professor\, manager\, or peer makes a recommendation or provides a reference\, the likelihood of success is much higher than going it alon e. Making sure that professors/managers/peers are familiar with your work and personality attributes is crucial to getting desirable results. Consid er\, for example\, starting early on and offering your help or services to professors/manager/peers\, and follow through with it—and when the time comes\, make a request for a recommendation. The resulting recommendation is much more beneficial just because of your approach to networking. Thus \, in order to get something from a network\, you are contributing or inve sting in the network upfront\, for a much better outcome. This presentatio n discusses the why and how of networking internals to increase your chanc es of success and the quantity and quality of returns.\n\nLikewise\, if we do not manage relations with managers and peers in the workplace\, we wil l not have the resources to get our jobs done. Communication—of all kind s—is an essential part of this management. Can we ask better questions? How do we work with difficult people? Do we always say nice things\, but c arry a stick? Have we tried talking-up? Are we deadline-passionate\, and h ow do we manage that?\n\nDo you believe that conflict holds creative poten tial\, conflict is unavoidable and common\, and conflict and negotiation a re central parts of workplace life? If you do\, you are already ahead in t he game. For most of the remaining folks who get stressed out dreading con flict in the workplace\, this presentation offers perspectives on conflict in the workplace and practical approach to handle conflicts or difference s. We include discussions on topics such as handling criticism\, and how i mportant it is for us to deviate from our comfort zones once in a while to set different expectations for everyone—including ourselves.\n\nWe will discuss all this and more with examples and anecdotes.\n\nYou'll walk awa y more aware to train yourself to be relevant and successful in today's wo rkplace.\n\nSpeaker(s): Bala Prasanna \, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtool s.ieee.org/m/332958 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/332958 ORGANIZER:anshul.goyal@ieee.org SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Surviving and Thriving in Today’s Workplace URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/332958 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>A few Tips to Manage Professional Development &amp\; Career Security</strong></p>\n<p><br /><strong>Abstract </strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Workplace habits and expectations have c hanged significantly in the last several years.</p>\n<p>Surviving and thri ving depends on your ability to grasp the broader picture and hone some es sential skills.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;In these days of extreme co mpetition\, what is it that makes you get that job or assignment that you are very good at?
