As part of its Let’s Talk series, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion invites YNHHS employees to a workshop on navigating barriers and defeating gender bias in the corporate world, with guest presenter Morgan Owens, president and founder of Professional Pretty.

The Morgan A. Owens brand was established as a voice for women who want to become more marketable in their corporate careers or entrepreneurial goals, with the mission that women can be “powerful and pretty’’ through self-love and confidence. Workshop objectives include learning ways to break the rules and get comfortable with being uncomfortable; use adversity to fuel determination; defeat gender bias by learning how self-perception affects relationships, career and life goals; and effectively execute goals.
March 30 is National Doctors’ Day, and there’s no better time to honor a physician who has made a difference in your life – as a caregiver or colleague. The Office of Development invites employees to donate to YNHH in honor of the occasion by visiting www.givetoynhh.org.
