 On January 13th, SWE-ECI hosted a virtual webinar over the lunch hour featuring the WE21 Closing Keynote by Patti Poppe. During this session, attendees learned about the Japanese concept IKIGAI, Patti shared her IKIGAI, and attendees discussed how to apply it to our own lives. The keynote prompted us all to think about how we can have full purpose-driven lives. We're grateful that SWE made these conference recordings available for three months following WE21.

 On September 15th, SWE-ECI hosted a virtual webinar over the lunch hour on the topic of "The Cure for Burnout." (HINT: it isn't self-care!)
Through this difficult time, you may be experiencing burnout, and not even know it! In an introspective and deeply relatable conversation, the presenters detailed three telltale signs to indicate when stress is getting the best of you. They even shared actionable ways to feel safe in your body when you're "burning out." Together, we learned some strategies of completing the stress cycle, and continued to gain knowledge from each other from a conversation following the session. It was truly great to hear advice, tips & tricks from the participants in the group as well. If you missed the session, here is the link to watch it! On Wednesday, April 8th, SWE-ECI members throughout the corridor gathered for lunch and to watch "Managing Through Influence Communication Skills Around Accountability, Conflict and Candor," a webinar presented by Aleen Bayard from Marketzing. The webinar was one of many available for free to SWE members on the society website.
On Wednesday, November 12, Companies in the corridor hosted conference rooms with pizza to watch the webinar and listen to brand strategist, Catherine Kaputa. She stressed that many strategies used by companies to pitch their products can be leveraged when creating your personal brand and pitch.
On April 24, Rockwell Collins, General Mills, DuPont, P&G, HR Green, as well as other individuals called in to listen to Sarah Kirksih's presentation on The Surprising Truths of Goal Setting while enjoying lunch.
On Thursday, January 16, members and friends of SWE-ECI gathered at the Cedar Rapids Downtown Library to watch Tara Mohr’s Webinar “Finding Your Right Work”. Tara’s presentation emphasized finding your “Core Nutrients” - things (could be feelings, values, interests) that when present in a situation, peak your interest and allow you to succeed.
On October 19th, SWE-ECI hosted a lunch meeting and call in at Rockwell Collins in which we watched an archived webinar from the SWE Headquarters database entitled "Managing Up." A good number of members and non-members showed up both in person and on the netmeeting to watch and discuss.
