“Cliff noteS: leADerSHiP leSSonS froM tHe leDGe”

By Alison levine, team Captain of the first American Women’s everest expedition; Adjunct Professor - U.S. Military Academy

Alison levine is no stranger to risk-taking. She has survived sub-zero temperatures, hurricane-force winds, sudden avalanches, and a career on Wall Street.

Surprisingly, levine was born with a life-threatening heart condition that precluded most demanding physical activities. As a teenager, her health was so unstable that she was not even allowed to do such basic things as drive a car or walk up stairs. But 13 years after her initial diagnosis she had surgery that changed her life – and climbing stairs soon gave way to climbing mountains, a passion she continued to pursue despite her initial health setbacks.

over the years as she continued to climb the corporate ladder, levine also pushed her limits on the world’s highest peaks and soon became one of the most experienced female mountaineers in the country. She has climbed peaks on every continent, served as the team captain of the first American Women’s everest expedition, and skied across the Arctic Circle to the geographic north Pole. in January 2008, she made history as the first American to complete a 600-mile traverse from west Antarctica to the South Pole following the route of legendary explorer reinhold Messner.

in addition to having tackled some of the most extreme environments in the outdoors, levine has also spent more than two decades in the business world. Her professional career has encompassed healthcare, technology and finance. After earning her MBA from Duke University she moved to new York to work for investment banking firm Goldman Sachs. in 2003, she left Wall Street to serve as deputy finance director for Arnold Schwarzenegger in his successful bid to become Governor of California.

levine currently serves as an adjunct professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point in the Department of Behavioral Sciences & leadership. She also has her own consulting firm, Daredevil Strategies, which specializes in organizational effectiveness, leadership development and team dynamics. By drawing parallels between staying alive in the mountains and thriving in a fast-paced business world, levine focuses on the topics of leadership, teamwork, overcoming odds, taking responsible risks and dealing with changing environments.

Steve Gutzler, founder and president of leadership Quest, a Seattle-based leadership development company.

Steve specializes in team building, customer service, and how leaders today must have high levels of emotional intelligence to succeed and thrive.

in today’s fast-paced competitive work environment, how effective are you as a leader? emotional intelligence (ei) - our ability to manage ourselves and others around us - is the single greatest contributor to personal excellence and leadership. in this keynote we will focus on:

• Developing and maintaining the disciplines of spectacularly successful people

• Understanding the Science of the human brain and how that influences behavior

• learning the game changing tools to manage, adapt and strike out ahead of the competition

• learning skills to deal with the emotions of others when there is tension and conflict

• Powerful insights of personal mastery and the cure for fear and reduced stress.

This program has been approved for 1 (General) recertification credit hour toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute. Sign the attendance sheet in the room to receive credit.

Join internationally recognized expert on global careers Mary Anne thompson as she discusses how the global recession has permanently altered the career landscape for job hunters pursuing employment both in the U.S. and overseas. Stimulus programs around the world are funding new careers from “green” initiatives to energy and infrastructure jobs. lack of full time employment opportunities has paved the way for the self-employed, virtual contractors and entrepreneurs filling the gap by providing innovative solutions for companies striving to do more with less. Most importantly, current recession woes are masking the even larger worldwide employment impact of retiring baby boomers, which will redefine mobility and the regulatory challenges of working outside one’s home borders. this session will help you develop a realistic, up-to-date understanding of both global and country-specific economic and employment challenges. Participants will be able to apply the data presented to their talent management and career advising strategies.

MBAs need to think long term about career resilience and advancement. in today’s job market, there’s a huge, fundamental shift in the corporate world: many companies are no longer routinely grooming employees for senior-level executive positions.

it takes a lot more than career fairs and interviews to build meaningful, long-term connections between students and employers. Strategic events providing the opportunity for regular, ongoing interaction are required to create and maintain these important relationships. Corporate advisory boards, career panels, executive luncheons, networking events and employer-sponsored dress for success and etiquette events are just some of the best practices we will discuss. Come to this session to learn how to engage employers by increasing their exposure to your students, while exciting students about career opportunities, and developing and enhancing valuable corporate partnerships for your university.

Six things every consulting candidate should know! from outward appearances, business consulting is glamorous. You work with top people at respected firms. You travel constantly. You delve into the deepest recesses of prominent organizations to help solve their problems. You play hard and work harder—and for all that you earn some serious money. if that’s your definition of glamour, then management consulting could be for you. But the process of getting into consulting is far from glamorous and competition is fierce. the ability to reach into a complex business situation and think quickly, objectively, laterally, and quantitatively while expressing yourself succinctly and persuasively doesn’t come easily to everyone—even to otherwise well-prepared business school graduates. We will be presenting the six key skill sets each student will need to master to be a consultant. learn how to support, guide and advise those students wanting to learn what employers want in a consultant.

While it is widely understood by business school deans that Career Services plays a vital role in fulfilling the ultimate promise made to MBA students, the function is often viewed as an expense with budgets that are discretionary. What strategies can you use to demonstrate that Career Services is a major contributor to the success of the entire school and secure the trust and confidence of the dean? in addition to the research, success stories will stimulate attendees to share experiences.

Superstar students with experience lead the pack in creating a competitive environment that forces students (and career service professionals) to prepare for their internship searches immediately. this creates pressure on staff for early programming and for students to create falsely confident career facades when their experience level and career choice are not as clear. At the Kogod School of Business, we intentionally slow down this process and encourage lengthy career exploration that paradoxically results in better career choices. this ultimately speeds up the effectiveness of the students’ internship/job search process and significantly increases hiring outcomes.

last summer tuck’s CDo launched Chatter to the incoming class, with the goal that this secure, enterprise level social network would replace emails, sign-up lists, and newsletters. Students in previous years complained of ‘information overload’ and of ‘being Spammed’ by the CDo even when the messages weren’t relevant to them – Chatter works with groups that students can opt into or out of at any time. Many students have the same questions, and the CDo dealt with many similar requests – we believed that by posting conversations in a public place, this would minimize such parallel communications and allow others to join in with their ideas. the result: within 3 months of launch, Chatter had been established as the only communications forum for career related topics and for All student clubs. it is now used across the school, including MBA Program office.

How can you help your company or your students stand out in the current job market? Join us to gain insights into the 2012 results from the Graduate Management Admission Council annual Corporate recruiters Survey. Having surveyed thousands of recruiters and employers for the last 10 years, this session will focus on current corporate hiring and salary projections by industry and region, recruiting methods and workplace talent needs and expectations. Also, we’ll explore what’s behind the scenes, like how companies choose which school to visit –and what they look for in the students they interview and eventually hire. information like this can be a competitive advantage for both companies and schools, and help better prepare students for employment.

What makes your school a key source of talent for an employer? Hint: it’s all relationship-driven! this session will provide strategies and best practices to not just feed resumes to employers during recruitment season, but to build meaningful, reciprocal relationships. the goal is for employers to provide knowledge about their hiring practices, business growth strategies, needs from your school and creative ways to engage students. likewise, the information that schools provide to companies should help them to know the student climate, to develop key strategies for recruitment and to build brand equity on campus through a broad school network.

We want all of our students to excel, and the same basic skills are necessary regardless of where they are in their careers. everyone needs to know how to interview, craft a resume and cover letter, research, network, develop their story, etc. though it would be ideal to deliver the same program to all populations, the reality is that full-time and part-time students have different geographic considerations and time constraints and are usually at very different stages in their careers. Join two Chicago Booth colleagues for a discussion around programming to fit the needs of diverse student populations.

the 2-Hour Job Search shows job-seekers how to work smarter (and faster) to secure first interviews. through a prescriptive approach, Dalton explains how to wade through the internet’s sea of information and create a job-search system that relies on mainstream technology such as excel, Google, linkedin, and alumni databases to create a list of target employers, contact them, and then secure an interview—with only two hours of effort. Avoiding vague tips like “leverage your contacts,” Dalton tells job-hunters exactly what to do and how to do it. this empowering book focuses on the critical middle phase of the job search and helps readers bring organization to what is all too often an ineffectual and frustrating process.
