Question D
- 1. IE MBA Application: Express Yourself Question D. Cite at least one example of when your leadership had an impact on or changed a certain situation, and justify how an IE Master’s Degree program would help you to strengthen or improve this competence. Emelyn Venturini
- 2. Passions • Making an impact in the physical world is not a hard task when you are a civil engineer consultant in the transportation field… …but making an impact on PEOPLE is my passion.
- 3. Leadership Impacts Children and women development is the passion that drives me, which is why I have lead and created two movements: TransportationYOUth A program designed to expose middle- school children to the STEM fields (focusing on transportation engineering) through interactions with industry professionals, hands-on activities, presentations, and mentoring programs. LIFT: Lasting Impact for Tomorrow A program that aims to recruit, develop, and retain women in my company and helping them reach their full potential by offering career development training, tools to deal with gender inequality, and support for mothers/families .
- 4. TransportationYOUth It started with 15 students and a one hour session…
- 5. TransportationYOUth It grew to 120 students in 3 one-hour sessions!!!
- 6. Takeaways & Impacts • Exposing children from a young age to understand engineering and the great careers available to them in STEM (science, technology, engineering, medicine). • Doing something for the love and passion of contributing to society is sometimes more impactful and gratifying that doing something for a salary. My greatest takeaway… “Thank you for today! I loved it! I want to be just like you when I grow up, a transportation engineer" - 10 year old girl
- 7. Lasting Impact for Tomorrow (LIFT) • I’m passionate about organizing, hosting, participating, and learning from this program that involves: • Monthly TED talk presentations and career development discussions • Monthly trainings on building confidence, improving body language, breaking stereotypes, and other gender-related topics. • Quarterly discussions/brainstorming on company benefits • Speaking up, raising awareness, and actively participating is crucial in being able to retain women in the workforce.. We need to re-socialize women AND MEN. It is important to me to put my grain of sand to the women’s revolution and not only continue to see the small impacts, but someday see true equality in my children’s generation!
- 8. Takeaways & Impacts “Gender equality is not a woman’s issue, it is a human issue. It affects us all.” Adapting to everybody’s unique characteristics is key for the success of everybody!
- 9. Potential IE MBA Gains • Obtaining business acumen to compete in the male- dominated world of professionals in senior positions. • Challenging traditional thinking and transforming passion and ideas into business opportunities. • Meeting people and professors that inspire me. • Putting my leadership skills to the test. Learning from the best to gain social responsibility and include it as a bigger part of my life!
