Weekly Resources from the Catalyst Community: Week of June 2nd

Welcome to our weekly showcase featuring a curated selection of valuable resources shared by our community. We have a diverse range of topics, including professional development, diversity, equity, and mentorship. We take pleasure in sharing these resources and hope they will benefit you as much as they have benefitted us.

Have you heard of Anne Morriss? She's a leadership expert with some interesting thoughts on how the tech industry should approach innovation. Instead of the "move fast and break things" mentality that's often touted, she suggests a one-week plan to "move fast and fix things." Her plan involves developing traits like curiosity, courage, and relationship-building and emphasizes the importance of taking action and learning from the results.

"Ologies" is a podcast hosted by Alie Ward where she explores different 'ologies' or fields

of study in each episode. We were totally creeped out and also fascinated by this timely spring episode, which was a recap of two interviews with tick experts. Yuck! "Acaropathology (TICKS & LYME DISEASE) Updated Mega Encore with Dr. Neeta Pardanani Connally & Dr. Andrea Swei"

Here's an interesting article from Forbes called "Having A Glass Ceiling To Break Through Is Privilege. Here’s Why." In this thought piece, Sheree Atcheson talks about how the idea of the "glass ceiling" doesn't fully capture the challenges women face at work. It's not just about gender, but also race, ethnicity, age, and disability. It's a big deal and something we should all be aware of. We touched on this in a community event this week, so popping it into this list for further reading!

In this thought-provoking article, Geena Davis, renowned actress and advocate, takes a stand against gender inequality in Hollywood. The article sheds light on the pervasive biases that persist in the industry and explores Davis' efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity. This article not only addresses Hollywood's challenges but also emphasizes its potential to reshape societal norms and create a more inclusive future. Geena Davis emerges as a pioneering force, inspiring transformative action in the entertainment industry.

Finally, we'd be remiss if we didn't share one of our own resources! In this video, Carina walks through how to use ChatGPT to write a resume perfectly tailored to any job description. This is a can't-miss, tricks of trade video, especially for anyone currently job hunting!
