A basic flight plan can help us, as Women of Color in STEM, take a bird's-eye view of our careers. Our careers can be divided into three major phases, which are outlined in the plan: "Take Off," "Cruise," and "Landing." For example, consider the "take off," which includes accelerating and preparatory steps, such as an action plan. Making progress or navigating in the right direction is interpreted as the “cruise." A roadmap is one of the tools that can help us during this phase. Finally, have we shaped the legacy or long-term impacts for others during the “landing" phase?

9. Purpose
Purpose:
A basic flight plan can help us, as Women of Color in STEM, take a bird's-eye view of our careers.
Our careers can be divided into three major phases, which are outlined in the plan: "Take Off,"
"Cruise," and "Landing."
 Consider the "take off," which includes accelerating and preparatory steps, such as an action
plan.
 Making progress or navigating in the right direction is interpreted as the “cruise." A roadmap is
one of the tools that can help us during this phase.
 Finally, have we shaped the legacy or long-term impacts for others during the “landing" phase?

10. The Take off
 Where are you in the “take-off” phase of your career journey?
 Have you had clearly defined steps or action plans for your career accelerations?
 Have there been any challenges or obstacles you overcame and would like to share?
 Who have been your most influential mentors and how have they provided the best guidance?

11. The Cruise
 It's important to check in with ourselves during the "Cruise" phase to ensure that we're heading
in the proper path.
 A career roadmap or chart could be a useful tool in aiding or guiding people. Please discuss the
following questions when reflecting on your own unique journey:
 How effective has a plan or roadmap been for you in your career up to this point in your
"cruise"?
 Have you tried any other methods to help with your "cruise"?
 What is your best piece of advice for someone entering or exiting the "cruise" phase?

12. The Landing
 Transitioning landing. Now that you landed one career…what have you been working on in this
phase of your new career?
 How are you soaring in this new space (phase) what things are you doing that bring you joy?
 What factors did you consider when you were ready to retire? What things should those
preparing for landing be doing to prepare?
 What does it mean to be living your best life? What does that mean to you?
 We have been hearing about “the future workforce” can you describe what that might look like
particularly for women of color and how might early career women might prepare for that.
