In 2025, The WIMDI Speaker Series is inviting engaging speakers each month to give interactive talks on topics that help women kill it at work.

Welcome to Talk 5 of 13 - Identify, Own & Shift Your Triggers at Work

Ever found yourself suddenly frozen in shame after being called out in a meeting? Or instantly in a rage when your micromanage-y boss gives you verbatim the same criticism you always got from your parents? Or rushing off to the bathroom to cry after Tina gets thanked for organizing a meeting and your work goes unnoticed, leaving you feeling invisible?

If you’ve found yourself unexpectedly losing your everloving mind over something that looks insignificant on the outside at work, you might have just found one of your triggers.

Getting triggered happens to the best of us, but it’ll help you be a more effective professional if you can bring awareness to your triggers – that way you can shift your experience of them, move out of your automatic reactions, and choose an intentional response.

This talk will focus on managing your triggers in the workplace. We’ll cover:

• How to identify your personal triggers at work
• Exploring the role you play in your workplace dynamics
• The three key moments that will help you respond intentionally to your triggers
• How to find a workplace that supports the psychological safety you need for personal & professional growth

The goal of this talk is to help you break free from unconscious patterns playing out at work and give you practical tools for long-term change.

It's our much-loved café night -- this time in an actual café!

Join us for a night of in-person networking, chit-chat, and strategy sharing between women in male-dominated industries.

This is an IRL networking event for all of our Vancouver-based WIMDI members.
Here's the plan:

1. Meet at Pane e Formaggio Cafe - 868 Beatty St
2. Order delicious mochas, jasmine tea, muffins, etc.
3. Meet some cool women and chat about our work lives
4. Exchange cards, phone numbers, facepages, myfriend accounts, tiktaks, instapics, snaptexts, or whatever it is that the kids are using these days to stay in touch
5. Stay in touch! Or....failing that, we'll do it all again in four weeks, so don't worry, we've got your back.

Hope to see you there!

Attendance Notes:

• Gender:
  All WIMDI Café Nights are restricted to those who do not currently identify as cisgender men. These events have limited attendance and often involve personal discussion, debate, and advice specific to dynamics underrepresented minorities in these industries experience. We are happy for cisgender men to learn and participate in WIMDI conversation at most of our other events, but we reserve the Café Lunches as a space for women***** to connect with each other freely and openly.

*****WIMDI uses an inclusive definition of women that means "people who are in a gender minority in their field". This includes trans individuals, genderqueer, agender, intersex, two spirit, and non-binary folks. If you are not sure if you are included, please err on the side of attending our events! Feel free to reach out to the Organizer, Holly Burton, with any questions and for an automatic welcoming face and first-friend at any WIMDI event.

• Code of Conduct:
  By attending this event, you agree to adhere to WIMDI's code of conduct, which you can find at wimdi.com/code-of-conduct-and-policy.
• Children:
  WIMDI events are for parents too! We know childcare can occasionally be a challenge, but we don't think that should stop you from connecting and learning with us. WIMDI doesn't offer childcare at our events, but we'd love you to bring your little one along with some quiet activities to occupy them. Suitable for ages 0+.
• Photography:
  This WIMDI event does not have photography.
