ELAM News to Know
Welcome Class of 2013!
Now that the winter session is complete, this is the class of 2013's first edition of the ELAM Edge - so welcome to all of you!
The ELAM Edge is a weekly e-newsletter sent each Thursday to all ELUMs that has ELAM and ELUM news, articles of interest, and position announcements. It's a great way to stay in touch with ELAM and the ELUM community.
The Edge will arrive in your inbox each week, and you can also view the last four weeks of the Edge to the left, and on the Alumnae web page.
We welcome contributions to the Edge, in personal and professional updates and relevant position postings. To contribute to the Edge, contact Kristan Stengel at Kristan.Stengel@DrexelMed.edu. We look forward to hearing your news!

Carol Bartz on Bad Bosses, Picking Your Fights and Saying 'I Don't Know'
Carol Bartz is widely-known in Silicon Valley for two things: being a high-profile executive at some of the best-known technology companies, and being a pull-no-punches speaker who says whatever is on her mind. Both traits were in evidence at a recent talk on Wharton's San Francisco campus during which she discussed how bad bosses can be as instructive as good ones, how important it is to pick your fights and why she is not a fan of mentoring, among other topics.
The Glass Hammer, December 20, 2012:
Say "No" with Power and Grace
I have a confession to make. I am not exactly an expert in saying "No." I spent the entire day recently running from one meeting to another. It was Sunday. I was taught early on that it's impolite to say "No." A lot of my executive coaching clients have a hard time saying "No" too, yet it's a critical skill we need to succeed and keep our sanity. Saying "No" is hard because it's inconsistent with the beliefs we have about ourselves (we're supposed to be collaborative, empathetic, care-taking), and the expectations others have of us. I often catch myself resenting a woman establishing boundaries when I would never think twice about a man doing it. So how do we as women leaders establish boundaries with both power and grace?

The Glass Hammer, January 10, 2013:
No More Ms. Perfect
The new year is a great time to work on fighting perfectionist tendencies. When else do we have so many goals and plans? There's nothing like an impossible list of expectations to throw a perfectionist into overdrive. A tendency toward perfectionism can prevent women from trying new things or taking career risks. But it can also drive women to excel and achieve at the highest levels. We don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater - so how can professional women maintain the drive that comes from a quest for perfection, while gaining the flexibility that comes with letting themselves fail?
Resolution: Three Ways to Help Other Women While Helping Yourself
Happy New Year! It's January 2013, and time to think about the year ahead. What better way to start than with a little history lesson? Celebrating the New Year on January 1st goes back as far as the ancient Romans. In fact, the Romans had a god dedicated to new beginnings: Janus, which is where we get the name January, today. On the first day of the year, people made offerings to Janus, and, then as now, they spent the day wishing one another health and prosperity for the year ahead.

Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are
Power. It's that intangible thing that so many people strive for. For some people, feeling a sense of control -- over themselves, others, situations or all of the above -- is a natural thing. For others, it doesn't come as easy. In her TEDTalk, social psychologist Amy Cuddy shares an easy way that anyone can change not only others' perceptions of them, but the way they feel about themselves...

The working group presented recommendations to the Director in June. Dr. Tabak, a co-chair of the working group, will discuss a report of the NIH Diversity in the Biomedical Research Workforce implementation team with the rest of the time being dedicated to Q&A. Dr. Bonham was also a member of the working group.
