***** SIGN UP ON TICKET TAILOR TO GET LOGIN DETAILS: https://wimdi.com/cafe-lunch-virtual-event?utm-source=Referral&utm_medium=Meetup&utm_campaign=CafeVirtual&utm_content=251009*****

Join us for our fun mid-day meal in a virtual setting. Join us for a lunch break of networking, chit-chat, and strategy sharing between women in male-dominated industries.

Here's the plan:

1. Make yourself lunch.
2. Meet online via our group zoom call.
3. Meet some cool women and chat about our work lives.
4. Exchange cards, phone numbers, facepages, myfriend accounts, tweetster, 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:

1. Gender:
   All WIMDI Café Lunches 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.
2. 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.
3. Privacy and Photography:
   Online WIMDI events use Zoom, and as such we cannot guarantee that no photos or screenshots will be taken of you during the event. We love it when our members connect at our events using both video and audio, but we understand if our members prefer to participate with their video turned off to preserve (more of) their privacy.

*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.

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 10 of 13 - Leading Through Crisis with Clarity

The email hits your inbox and the murmuring starts in the hallway. 45% layoffs to accommodate spending on new AI features!?!? WHAT!?

When the ground shifts beneath your team, everyone turns to you for answers. Don’t go searching for your cape. You already have what you need. You need your heart to connect, your hands to steady the chaos, and your mind to lead with clarity.

This talk will focus on the skills you need as a leader to navigate through difficult times with clarity.

We’ll cover:

• Understanding team and interpersonal dynamics in stressful situations
• What your job is as a leader in crisis
• How to navigate the emotional turmoil of leading in difficult times
• A process you can use to navigate times of crisis

The goal of this talk is to help you lead effectively in times of massive upheaval.
