The Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) has a number of women and leadership announcements (research, events, and resources) this month from our work and that of our partners:
First, we have just started the Utah Women & Leadership Podcast Series, and posted our first one on sexual harassment (you can listen/download on iTunes or on the UWLP blog). They are 20-30 minutes each and are based on the research we have conducted (snapshots and briefs); we’ll be releasing one each month. We also have a new infographic on Utah Women and STEM, that is based on a 2016 research snapshot with the same title. In addition, videos are now online from a spring semester event, including a keynote with Justice Christine Durham, a panel titled, “You Don’t Have to Wait to Lead as Young Women,” and a workshop by Kathie Debenham on mindfulness and presence in leading and living.
Second, we have our next community event planned for September 26, 2018 (6:30-8:30pm, UVU). The evening is titled “Navigating Transitions: Finding New Paths, Passions, and Purpose.” Ruth Todd (former award-winning television news anchor in Utah) will be the keynote speaker, after which attendees will choose one of three workshops:
Details about session speakers, facilitators, and panelists can be found on this flyer. RSVP NOW. Some sessions will live stream.
Third, we are conducting a new study on the strategies that male allies/advocates in Utah successfully use to help advance women in workplace settings. We are looking for participants (men and women at any level of an organization) who have had paid and/or unpaid work experience (e.g., business, nonprofit, government, church, community, politics) to take this 10-20-minute survey: https://lnkd.in/gsUXdYj. Please help us out by distributing this invitation widely in Utah to others in your workplaces and beyond.
Fourth, our partners are hosting some wonderful events this month as well:
Finally, here are a few more of my LinkedIn articles released in July that might interest you: Women and Bragging: Facilitating Women’s Self-Promotion and Gender Differences in Speaking Up and Using Voice.
Have a great August (I can’t believe the summer has gone so fast)!

What’s more convenient than grabbing a paper towel after you have a spill?
Fact is, most people use paper towels to wipe down kitchen surfaces or clean up spills daily. However, did you know that every paper towel we've been using has been poisoning the environment?!
It's true...not only are nasty chemicals used in creating that piece of white paper towel, but trees are killed, environment destroyed, and more waste ends up in landfills too, producing more methane into our atmosphere...and NONE of that is a good thing for us or the planet :(
So, in our household, we STOPPED buying paper towels, and we just started using this "magic" towel instead
These "Magic" Towels make it so:
* You NEVER need to buy another paper towel again!
* You NEVER need to buy household cleaners again!
* AND... these magic towels can absorb up to 10 ounces of liquid without a single drip!
It's really quite impressive which is why you should check this out:
