NOVEMBER EVENTS
Date: November 5, 2013
Get the FEAR Out of Here
Workshop with Special Guest Speaker Kelly Eckert
Clever Connections Lunch and Workshop
Fear can manifest as procrastination or perfectionism. It can make
you feel like you’re not ready to be really visible in your
professional life. It can make you feel like you’re not good enough
to have an awesome life or professional success. It can also make
you feel like you have to have an awesome life RIGHT NOW or lose
your chance forever. Then you end up making life decisions that
aren’t authentic, effective or awesome. We all sabotage ourselves
at one time or another. Kelly Eckert will help you to identify
your fears and learn to release them, so you can get on with your
success!

A Woman’s Journey in DNA: Entrepreneurship and Social Justice
(The Women Business Leaders Breakfast Series)
Speaker: Dr. Ria David, President & Co-Founder, Cybergenetics
Crossing multiple continents from South Africa to the USA, Dr. Ria
David built a Pittsburgh DNA technology company, Cybergenetics, with
her co-founder, Dr. Mark Perlin. The company’s TrueAllele® technology
is used to interpret complex DNA evidence from crime scenes.
In keeping with CSI, the TrueAllele computer results are typically
a million times more informative than human review and can better
connect crimes, such as sexual assault, to assailants. Using
TrueAllele, Cybergenetics works with crime labs, prosecutors
and police to effectively help solve and prevent sexual assault,
as well as other crimes. Dr. David will discuss her forensic DNA
experiences, entrepreneurship, and how her company helps create
a safer society.
