Taking Calculated Risks in your career and finding your niche. A discussion of some early trials of being an engineer when there were very few engineers and how using Risk Management, my niche, helped me navigate through obstacles, to eventually end up doing what I wanted and loving it.[] Speaker(s): Mercedes 'Mercy' Massana Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/427412

This dynamic session uses case studies drawn from the IEEE community to help you dramatically improve your ability to use hybrid work as an instrument to improve retention and productivity while cutting costs. Many leaders rely on traditional office-centric collaboration and leadership styles in managing hybrid teams. Yet research conclusively demonstrates that, instead of incrementally improving on the old-school office-centric approach, the best outcomes in managing hybrid teams come from adopting a flexible hybrid-first work model. Doing so results in much higher retention and productivity, reduces costs, and boosts engagement, innovation, collaboration, and risk mitigation. Through adopting hybrid work best practices based on this training, you will empower yourself and your team to maximize retention, productivity, and cost savings in our increasingly-disrupted future of work.All attendees will have an opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of the speaker's best-selling book on which this talk is based, called Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams. Speaker(s): Dr. Gleb Tsipursky Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.

Do you still use a landline with rotary dial to make telephone calls? No! You should not be using mid-20th Century leadership practices either! Twentieth century leadership practices are no longer effective. In today's dynamic business landscape, marked by hybrid and remote work, our greatest challenge isn't just managing effectively—it's leading with trust. For 21st century workplaces, the key to success lies in this trust-based leadership. Why? Because trusted employees are committed employees. To enhance retention by up to 65% and increase productivity by as much as 50%, we need to cultivate Engaged Leadership skills alongside traditional management capabilities. How do we cultivate the Engaged Leadership skills which can engender trust? The answer lies in learning and practice. This workshop uses real stories from industry to illustrate the differences between engaged and disengaged leadership practices, between empowered and disempowered teams, and between trusted and untrusted cultures. If you have questions you would like to submit before the presentation, please submit them (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/event/edit/here.https:/forms.gle/121TeMgMAu2MEJtv7) (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/event/edit/here.https:/forms.gle/121TeMgMAu2MEJtv7) Speaker(s): Leslie, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/427394

This webinar is a collaboration between IEEE-USA Career & Member Services and IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE). Trying to re-enter the workforce after an extended absence presents challenges, and can be a daunting task. Changes have happened in the workplace and in technologies used. The atmosphere and expectations may have changed (for example, the impacts COVID had on remote work for many jobs!) You have changed… and self-doubt may have crept in after being away! However, preparing in advance is the key to easing the challenges. In this talk, you will hear about my own return to work after 12 years of minimal part-time employment in my field, and also information from my own research into what experts recommend. You will learn: - What is an extended absence (and the impact of how long “extended” is!) - Why it is important to prepare for returning - When to start preparing - How to prepare - Who to seek out for support / assistance - Where to look for opportunities Speaker(s): Jill Gostin Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.

Join us the IEEE RRVS EMC & IAS chapter Meeting at 6pm. Effects of Wind Turbine Grounding System Interconnection on Electromagnetic Transients Caused by Lightning. The presentation will provide an introduction to wind parks and modern wind turbine components and topologies. Then we will discuss testing and modeling of lightning strike effects in modern Composite Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Rotor Blades and wind turbines. This is an essential step in wind park and turbine design, manufacturing, and certification. Lightning effects may impose additional requirements for the reliable operation of the low voltage and medium voltage grid against surges. This talk is based on two standards for wind turbines and generators. Part 24 of both standards governs lightning protection. The latest editions of standards IEC-61400-24 Ed. 2.0 (2019) and JIS C 1400-24:2023 recommend connecting the grounding systems of the individual wind turbines and the sub-station all together using horizontal grounding conductors. This will form an overall wind farm earthing system. The objective is to reduce abnormal earth potential distribution effects, and to mitigate dangerous overvoltage effects. An extensive comparison of these effects will be presented and discussed in depth with the audience. About the Speaker: Yarú Méndez is engaged as a principal engineer at the wind turbine blade manufacturer LM Wind Power (A GE Vernova company) in Denmark and as a lecturer in electrical engineering (EE) at the Universidad Simón Bolívar (USB) in Venezuela. The main focus of his professional and academic activity is power systems and renewable energy based power generation. Previously, he was Director of Engineering at the company Raycap GmbH in Germany and Research Engineer at the company General Electric Global Research (GEGR) in Germany. His primary responsibilities included renewable energy based systems (wind and solar) and their interaction to the grid with a main focus on electromagnetic transients. Concerning his education, he earned a degree in electrical engineering in power systems from the Universidad Simón Bolívar (USB), a Dr.-Ing. Degree from the University of Kassel (UNIK) in Germany, and an MBA degree from the University of Applied Sciences Munich (HM) in Germany. Currently, he holds 20 patents and has published 60 scientific publications as author and coauthor. Speaker(s): Yarú Méndez Agenda: 6:00 PM Gathering 8:30 PM Adjurn 3761 S.
