Neurodiversity In a Singularly Focused World
Thursday, May 15 | 6:00PM - 7:00PM
When you think of a neurodivergent person in the workplace, who do you picture?
Neurodivergence doesn’t fit in a box.
It intersects with race, gender, sexuality, and ability, challenging how we define professionalism, leadership, and belonging.
Shana Francesca will take us on an eye-opening journey into what it means to truly value neurodiversity, moving beyond checkboxes toward workplaces where difference is integrated, not just accommodated.
✨ Expect:
✔️ Insightful conversation
✔️ Fresh perspectives on workplace inclusion
✔️ Actionable strategies to reshape your workplace culture
This is more than a talk. It's a movement toward ethical leadership and equitable workspaces.
Reserve your spot now and be part of the change:

LinkedIn + ChatGPT for Networking:Get Inside + A Massive EdgeJune 2, 2025 | 12:00PM
Facilitator: Jeremy Schifeling
You can have the world’s greatest resume, a killer cover letter, and even a perfect LinkedIn profile. And yet you can still not get chosen for an interview.
Why?
Because at the end of the day, hiring is a people-driven process. And people always prefer people they know and trust.
Which means that networking can make or break your chances of getting chosen. And to master the art of networking in a precise, step-by-step way, join Jeremy Schifeling - an introvert and former kindergarten teacher - who networked his way into jobs at Apple, LinkedIn, and Google.
You’ll learn:
How hiring really works - including the key role that referrals and hiring manager relationships play
How to get a referral at any organization - even if you don’t know anybody on the inside
How to find the hiring manager for any role - and build a relationship directly with your future boss
About the facilitator:
Jeremy Schifeling has devoted his career to helping others succeed in theirs. From teaching kindergarten in Brooklyn to recruiting top students at Teach For America to leading education marketing at LinkedIn, he’s touched the lives of millions of people at every stage of their journeys. Along the way, he’s published the best-selling LinkedIn and ChatGPT for Job-Seeking books on Amazon, served as a career coach for military veterans at Shift.org and MBA students at the University of Michigan, and produced the most-viewed video in LinkedIn’s history.

Dependable Strengths Facilitator Training

Harford Community College - Bel Air, MD
The Dependable Strengths Training Summit is for career professionals who are looking for an amazing tool to assist clients, students, and others that they work with for career planning, role changes, and the job search. It is a powerful process that allows individuals to expand their prospects and be in charge of their own path while tapping into the best of who they are and having a positive impact. NBCC Clock Hours are available in addition to 2 days of an immersive experience and training.
One of the most valuable tools we can assist our students and clients with is the ability to identify, clarify, and talk about the strengths they really enjoy using so they can develop their brand and expand opportunities to use their potential. Through the Dependable Strengths Articulation Process we embark on a process that begins by exploring things we actively made happen that energize us. Individual narratives will be created to fit who we are at our best. The result is a more effective job search and career satisfaction. Not only will we show you how to identify and clarify strengths that energize you, but we will also show you a proven process to build your network and obtain satisfying employment. You will be provided with the tools, materials, and techniques to help your clientele individually or in groups.
