Events
Summer is just starting and we have a lot planned! We will add new events that we are co-hosting or attending.
Gatherings
Most of us were taught to lead with what's impressive: the intelligence, the degree, the title, the work.
📍 Los Altos Community Center
Norcal California
Most of us were taught to lead with what's impressive: the intelligence, the degree, the title, the work. It's a reasonable instinct. It's also not how people decide they want to keep talking to you. On October 6, the MIT Club of Northern California welcomes Cassindy Chao, founder of the bespoke matchmaking firm Ancient Wisdom Modern Love and author of the book of the same name, for a session on why smart people can struggle with first impressions, and how a shift in mindset and approach changes that. Before matchmaking, Cassindy spent years in investment banking at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan. She has appeared on NBC News Daily and in Business Insider, and has spoken at the Harvard Club of New York and Oracle. For early-career alumni, this is a look at what the person across the table actually registers, which is also what a hiring manager remembers three candidates later. For mid-career and senior professionals, it's the same skill whether the goal is a client, a co-founder, or a board seat. The evening includes dinner, a presentation with one-on-one exercises, and time to put it into practice with fellow MITCNC members and friends. 📅 Tuesday, October 6 | 6:00–9:00 PM PT 📍 Los Altos Community Center 👉Register at https://lnkd.in/gWKC63qz
