…such a substantive conversation today with TWC President Kimberly Churches, aimed at amplifying the connection and collaboration between Miami Dade College (MDC) and The Washington Center (TWC). For over a decade, The Honors College at Miami Dade College students and other scholars, with the mentorship of our world class professors, have travelled to the Capitol to participate in the immersive Inside Washington convening of engaged learners, faculty, and public/private sector officials. We’re laser focused on expanding opportunities for MDC students to engage first hand in peer interactions, internships, and other career-connected environments. #BeMDC #StudentsFirst #studentsuccess #careerconnections #publicpolicy

Check out my article on FPRI about China's semiconductor industry. This piece is heavily inspired by Chris Miller's "Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology." A special thanks to the Asia Program's Thai-Binh Elston and Connor Fiddler for making this article possible!

Having interns with you, even for a short period, is always worthwhile and works both ways. Making time and space for the next generation can be as illuminating for you as it is for them. Here's a lovely short blog from our most recent intern, Robert Getley, whose career progress we will follow with interest!

And it's a wrap...7 semesters completed to date as an #adjunctprofessor While serving my content creation clients, and showing up on multiple stages at conferences. This August will be four years since I heard "you are no longer employed with this company" Yeap. Got laid off. Yes, this setback was EXACTLY what I needed to dig deeper. I'm so looking forward to this summer. I'm already busy setting up my summer courses and on boarding my very first intern! SCALE WITH PRECISION. It takes time, determination, and the will to NEVER giving up. Tomorrow is another day. #callforspeakers #success ##careerjourney #professionaldevelopment

When you get to work with your own daughter... Sure, I've seen my daughter Chase Carpenter in action. I've seen how her smile and positive energy can draw people in. I've watched her rally groups of young women, whether it's for pure fun and community development, or it's for a purpose-driven event, meant to move the needle. She's an organized, efficient, and magnetic leader. So you may imagine my pride getting to work alongside her this past summer at The Lola. The Lola is a vibrant, women's community space where I've been co-working for the past year and a half. I've also contributed some work to The LOLA team, helping Dana Xavier Dojnik with project management processes and content marketing; starting and co-leading a weekly accountability group with Melissa Uppelschoten, now led by superstar Qiana Avery, SHRM-CP; and co-facilitating the monthly, in-person Founders & Freelancers group with the incomparable energy-shifter Kafi London. In short, being part of The LOLA community has been my jam. When The LOLA accepted Chase as an intern last spring, I knew she'd fit right in. She understood the assignment: to help support the powerful network of inclusive, female entrepreneurs and women in business who want to build a life and career in which we are constantly growing, thriving and succeeding. It's exciting to see young women realize and embrace their own power. It makes me wish I knew what they already know when I was in my 20s! But it was a different time and we were ALL different people. :) I'm excited to keep my focus on what's ahead for all of us. Because women - young, mid-life and wise - will change the world. Established women in business and emerging female leaders: if you haven't felt it yet, lean in. And lean in HARD, because our time is NOW. #WomenInBusiness #FemaleLeadership #NextGenLeaders #MotherDaughterTeam #EmpowerWomen #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityLeadership #FemaleEntrepreneurs #MentorshipMatters #TheLOLA #WomenWhoLead #CareerGrowth #InclusiveLeadership #YoungLeaders #WomenEmpowerment
