Resa Lewiss in conversation w/ Soledad O’Brien – Bridging the Skills Gap with MicroSkills
The UNITED and Bank Square Books host an extraordinary fireside chat featuring two remarkable women, Dr. Resa E. Lewiss and Ms. Soledad O’Brien.
Resa E Lewiss, MD – Westerly native, emergency medicine physician, professor, and award winning author. Resa spent her formative years in our beloved town and her college years at Brown University in Providence. She is a TEDMED speaker, TimesUp Healthcare founding member, and award winning educator, mentor, ultrasound specialist, and podcaster. She hosts the Visible Voices Podcast, amplifying content in the healthcare, equity, and current trends spaces.
Soledad O’Brien – World-renowned journalist, news anchor and philanthropist. Soledad is an executive producer and host of “Matter of Fact,” a weekly newsmagazine that delves into the political and socioeconomic issues affecting America. She is the co-founder of the PowHERful Foundation, which empowers young women and girls with the resources and tools they need to access college, graduate, and pursue fulfilling careers.
The conversation will center around Dr. Lewiss’s co-authored and award winning book, “MicroSkills: Small Action, Big Impact” (published by HarperCollins on April 24). This comprehensive business self-help book is designed to make no assumptions about the reader’s starting point, recognizing that the world is not equal and everyone navigates the workplace from different access points to knowledge and resources.
This engaging discussion will explore the essential skills required for the modern economy and how we can expand access to professional opportunities for all. The themes in “MicroSkills” resonate deeply with Soledad’s commitment to women and minority communities, making this event a must-attend! Return to work after summer with actionable skills to be better at work.
