Welcome back to WWOS, a podcast focused on creating a community to help career women (including us!) grow and learn. We are excited this week to bring you an episode all about Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies, a personality framework that can help you understand how you and others around you are motivated to achieve goals and tackle challenges.

The four tendencies are Upholders, Obligers, Questioners, and Rebels. Listen in this week as we discuss:

- What each of these tendencies mean and how they are split up

- Examples of the tendencies both in and out of the workplace

- How certain tendencies work (or clash) with others

And more! We also review our own tendencies and how to use that to reflect on setting goals for the new year. We hope you enjoy our last episode release of 2022 and make sure to tune back in next week to kick of 2023!

Welcome back to WWOS! A podcast about helping women in STEM grow into the best version of themselves. This episode is especially important for women in our field because we're usually underrepresented in STEM industries. We talk about how to find a mentor that is mutually beneficial for both parties. A mentor will help you avoid any obvious mistakes, push you into uncomfortable situations, and can provide opportunities for you in the future.

Today we touch on;

- How to identify potential mentors

- How to reach out to potential mentors

- How to provide value first to your mentor

Your mentor can be a friend, a collegue, a VP, a mom, or anyone you want it to be! Both the mentor and mentee should be better off in this relationship. It's just tough finding that perfect fit - and that's what we're trying to help with!

If you have a mentor and want to share your story with us, please reach out to our email [email protected] to potentially be featured on the show! As always, a rating and review will help spread our message. Thanks for listening!

What an episode!! Brooke and Paige are joined by BAD*SS Meredith who is currently a Registered Patent Attorney. She is also President of South Ohio Society of Women Engineers (SWE). Meredith earned a Juris Doctor degree from Fordham University School of Law where she focused on intellectual property and an emphasis on biotechnology patent law.

Before she attended law school, Meredith earned her masters at John Hopkins in biotech and her B.S. in biochemistry at Case Western Reserve.

We deep dive into;

- Who is law school best for? And what were some of Meredith's challenges?

- What are the benefits and struggles of working in higher academia as a woman?

- How Meredith got involved in local communities to build her network

Meredith shares so many incredible insights, we even talked over an hour after the podcast episode had finished! You won't want to miss this one. We genuinely learned so much from Meredith and we know the audience will too. If you know a woman who would benefit from joining us on the podcast, please email us "Guest" at [email protected]
