Presentation, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills have a common foundation -- interpersonal communications. Synergist, East Rock Capital, and CPI are co-hosting a workshop led by Cathy Boeckmann focused on further developing: 1) skills to share your point of view clearly and confidently, and 2) skills to effectively listen to the other point of view, both of which are core building blocks to effectively resolve difficult situations and move negotiations forward in mutually beneficial ways. Cathy will share best practices and lead an interactive workshop enabling attendees try out skills in real time. The goal of the session is to help you identify and learn important skills, figure out what may be going on when you struggle to use your skills successfully in high stakes situations, and understand how working with an executive coach can support your career growth.

She then moved to TA Associates where she worked as an Associate for three years before transitioning to a Principal role at FTV Capital, a growth equity firm focused on investments in financial technology.

Among other things, Aly can speak to the pros of direct promotion as she never attended business school, and as a young mother of two very cute kids, Aly can also speak to her approach to managing her personal and professional life.
