Description

Gain the Confidence to Show Up, Feel Less Anxious & Make Communicating Easier

Learn from those who have your back and are here to help. On Oct. 14, Pretty Brainy and its partners are making it easier for you to put your real self forward in the wilderness of what to study, where to work, what to be, who to know, how to act, and what to do on the road called Life.

To be an Ada Lovelace Day mentor, sign up for Mentor Orientation.

Create Your Way Forward

You’ll gain insight on the how’s and why’s of professional and social skills —

  • Professionally introducing yourself.
  • Confidently and comfortably shaking hands and making eye contact.
  • Effectively networking — with food and drink in hand.
  • Taking the initiative when you’d rather hang back.
  • Pitching and promoting who you are.
  • Being you, being seen, and making a positive impression.
  • Successfully following up.

You’ll meet mentors and new friends who will guide you through a brunch-time learning experience on how to communicate, for example, with college recruiters, scholarship committee members, prospective employers, interviewers, instructors, and so on. You’ll come away prepared to walk into unknown situations with more confidence because you’ll know what to do and will be more authentically you in doing it. You’ll be equipped with professional and social skills to further your life.

Memorable Moments Alert

  • Use your own savvy business cards — we’ll create them for you — to make a good impression on those who’ve been where you are and have success secrets to share.
  • Practice how to calm nervousness and anxiety — we’ll show you some great techniques. And we’ll help you understand what’s happening in the brain when you practice being calm so you can be more in control in any given situation.

What’s Ada Lovelace Day?

Ada Lovelace Wrote the First Computer Program — 100 Years Before a Computer Was Built

Learn about Ada Lovelace. She laid the groundwork — literally — for Grace Hopper, Alan Turing and other computer science pioneers of the 20th century and today. Lovelace, whose father was Romantic poet Lord Byron, was determined to learn math when her tutor said that, because she was a girl, her mind could not handle the subject.

Ginger and Baker supports girls in STEAM gaining professional and social skills to power their lives

Earlene and Helen were tough Southern mamas who taught their daughters the value of hard work, a dollar earned, homemade goodness, a quality pie tin, and a flour-covered apron. On different career and life paths until 2010, a chance introduction brought Executive Ginger Graham and Chef Deb Traylor together. They discovered an instant connection around food and the kitchens of their past where family, friendship, loving, giving and sharing were everything. Together, they dreamed of opening a little pie shop, and as good dreams sometimes do, theirs grew to be so much more. Welcome to Ginger and Baker!
