Sharon West at IDSA Women in Design Deep Dive

Sharon West, Mechanical Engineering Manager at Delve, will be speaking at IDSA's <a href="https://www.idsa.org/conference-details/women-in-design-deep-dive-2024/" target="_blank">"Women in Design Deep Dive"</a> in Philadelphia on&nbsp;June 26 - 27, 2024. The event is&nbsp;IDSA’s annual celebration of inclusion and diversity in design. The theme for 2024 centers on amplifying efforts to gain more influence, conduct fruitful negotiations, effectively communicate design value, become a master at self-direction, and more.&nbsp; Sharon's session, titled "That Hat Can Fit Me Too!" will start at 3:10 pm ET on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, and&nbsp;will cover how design professionals can make successful transitions work in an era of perpetual change.

Sharon will discuss supporting yourself and others to reduce the friction inherent to role changes, team changes, and workforce changes. Attendees will hear about transition successes and stumbles, lessons learned, and bright hopes for the future from someone who has made hops between: small start-ups and large well-established companies, domestic and international teams, industry and consulting sectors, as well as technical work, project management and people management. Attendees will learn:
<ol><li>How to smoothly swap “hats” as you move to a new role.</li><li>How to ease transitions for new folks joining your team.</li><li>The importance of putting on a new hat to change your perspective.</li></ol>
