Career negotiation 1: How to turn a connector into a champion
Tad Mayer
| Jan/11 | Wed | 06:00PM-07:30PM | 5-233 |
Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Are you hesitant to ask for informational interviews because you feel like you’re asking for a favor without offering anything in return? What if you understood what was important to the connector and could offer them something of value? Instead of a one-off meeting, you have the foundation for a partnership. Would that change your motivation to ask for the meeting? Let’s say you’re in a job interview with the hiring manager and you ask, “Beyond the job description for this role, what else is important to you for the team to accomplish?” What if you then demonstrated how you could contribute to their additional aspirations?
Join us for an interactive talk on negotiation and career development. We will focus on understanding what is important to the other person—be it an informational or job interview—and what to do about it. We will discuss how to figure out what interests connectors and decision makers have, how to bring them into the discussion, and how to generate options to fulfill them. We will also look at your own interests and how to get them met. Instead of pleading for an informational interview or a job, this workshop will change the frame to how you and connectors can help each other, and how you can focus on the fit with decision makers for potential jobs.

Customer Financing and Other Creative Ways to Fund Your New Venture

The most common method of financing is one of angel and institutional money from VC and PE firms. However, not all businesses are a fit for these types of funding sources. Roughly 1% of the companies attract any angel/VC—so what do other ventures do? How did ventures get off the ground before the 1950s when the VC industry started taking hold?
Customer-funding is an attractive, non-dilutive method of funding. There is, of course, the chicken-and-egg problem of not having products to sell to customers, but needing funding to create the products. There are many ways to handle this—I will share one method Aerva used to receive customer funding early on.
Typically first customers are much larger than your new venture—and it may seem inconceivable why a larger entity might want to work with a smaller entity or a startup. In fact, startups have a lot more leverage than their founders may realize. Therefore, one can negotiate a win-win scenario, which can help your financing situation.
Along the way, there are many traditional, non-VC funding sources one can tap into, in particular once positive revenue trends can be demonstrated. After break-even and positive cashflow, even more funding sources become available, from bank loans, to institutional capital, which may even start chasing you, rather than the other way around.

Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
This IAP 4 day workshop introduces tools of human-centered design thinking and design sprints —employed by Google and IDEO in product development — and applies them to the most important product of our lives: ourselves. You will quickly learn the methodology of human-centered design - mindsets, needfinding, inspiration, ideation, rapid prototyping, tracking data, and iteration. You’ll apply the methodology and tools towards designing towards a case study or leadership challenge from your own life. The opportunity in this product design challenge is that you are designing for a very specific user of one, and you are in the position of knowing that user the best. Designing for our own lives has never felt or been that straightforward. Why? These are the interesting questions that we will be adopting a child's mind towards probing and discussing with a community of fellow students and facilitators. Preference towards freshmen and sophomores.

EXO Day is our version of Shark Tank where scientists, artists, engineers and researchers come together to bring their inventions to life. The concept is simple: take a group of students who are normally deeply engrossed in their particular academic inquiry, and ask them to focus on the external productization of their research: brand development, generating revenue for their idea, how to market and sell their product or marketing ideas targeting a real audience within their given industry. The think tank day will allow the participants to focus their undivided attention to their innovative ideas and get the support and structure necessary to push innovation into market.
Individual workshops will be organized with the various guests brought to the Lab. The workshops will focus on two things mainly: Business and Design. The experts joining are either designers who have created products and brands or experts in branding and business who have not only experience to share but also best practices, guidance and both design and business directions on how to tackle their respective markets, etc.

Many students arrive at MIT riding on years of academic success and praise from teachers, parents, and colleagues. But what happens when you encounter uncertainty and failure? Have you been in a challenging class where you worry about how others will perceive you if don't sound "smart" enough? When you fail to achieve a specific goal, how do you manage and overcome discouragement and self-doubt? In this course, we will examine how our own notions of potential and ability can have a fundamental impact on how we approach our work, how much we learn, and how successful we can be in achieving our goals. The course will focus on recent, evidence-based insights regarding human performance, neuroplastictiy, motivation and on how deliberately cultivating a "growth-mindset" can improve our willingness and ability to face challenges and to innovate, despite the risk of failure.
This course is limited to 20 students. Please send a brief description of who you are and why you would like to take this course to Lourdes Alemán at laleman@mit.edu. You will be notified via e-mail to confirm registration. Registration is open until 1/8.

Healing the Heart of Democracy: A Personal Journey in Dialogue With Others

This course will provide an opportunity for deep personal reflection, in connection with others, around recent political events – notably, the U.S. Presidential election and the Brexit vote, as well as recent events in India, the Philippines, and elsewhere that have arguably signaled widespread populist unrest and disruption of governance-as-usual. These events have brought to the forefront issues of economic class, race, gender, national and religious identity, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of democratic institutions to address such issues.
This course will not be conducted in a traditional classroom or seminar format, but rather as a circle, where students share ideas and emotional meanings drawn from personal experience, practice deep listening, and engage in self-reflection while in community with one another. The emphasis is on relationship-building, respectful dialogue, and personal “meaning excavation” and sharing. A circle process has been cited as a critical tool in nurturing the habits that form the basis for meaningful self-governance and democracy.

Now, more than ever, is the time learn the values, principles, and skills of activism.
Activism takes many forms that share common foundations of attitude, persistence, clarity and communication. Study and practice concerning these foundations will have a lasting effect on individuals’ ability and willingness to be involved.The tradition of Jewish activism provides clarity and guidance around the core attitudes of activism, offering practical as well as timeless wisdom that can be focus on all manner of causes, not just “Jewish” ones.

Me, Myself and I: How do you define yourself in the 21st century?
| Jan/30 | Mon | 02:00PM-04:00PM | E19-202 |
Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required
We all hold multiple identities and they interact in our lives in different ways. At home, in the classroom, at the office, the words we use to describe ourselves have power and can change the way we see ourselves in these environments. What words have you used to describe your identity? How have others described you? How do our perceptions of ourselves impact the roles we play in our daily lives and the roles we hope to play in our professional careers? This interactive workshop will explore these questions and give you the opportunity to refine your sense of self as you step into your daily life and your career.
Pre-registration is requested on CareerBridge.
Open to students, alumni and postdocs.

Offshore Sailing Shore School
Scott Dynes, Skipper, X-Dimension
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: An interest in sailing
You know that MIT has a fabulous river sailing program, but did you also know that MIT also has an offshore sailing program, where you can sail MIT's 43-foot boat, X-Dimension, in Boston Harbor, to P-town, along the Maine coast, and even to Halifax, Nova Scotia?
The purpose of this IAP course is to show you that sailing a 43-foot boat differs from dinghy sailing only in degree: the boat and sails are bigger, you can stay out longer (days!), and you don’t have to come back to the dock at night. We are offering 8 sessions that will cover the fundamental and practical aspects of large boat sailing, with the goal of making everyone feel equipped with the knowledge to feel comfortable sailing along the coast. The classes will cover keelboats, weather, navigation (including celestial navigation), safety at sea, racing, and chartering a boat in the Caribbean.
No prior knowledge of keelboats or sailing is required (though the latter is very helpful); just an interest in learning about sailing in the salt water.

Whether you're out for a day sail or crossing the ocean, you'll need to understand the various onboard systems. This session provides basic knowledge of the typical coastal cruising sailboat -- structure, rigging, electrical, engine, navigation, etc. Attendees will learn the nautical terms for things (the galley, not the kitchen) and get a sense for life aboard at sea.
Eric Brown - Skipper, X-Dimension
| Jan/12 | Thu | 06:30PM-08:30PM | 66-160 |
If you have some experience sailing, there's a good chance you can charter a boat in the Caribbean and elsewhere. This session discusses the practical aspects of arranging for and sailing a charter in the Caribbean. Topics we will talk about include:
Tim Hall - Skipper, X-Dimension
| Jan/17 | Tue | 06:30PM-08:30PM | 66-160 |
Racing is a very fun and very effective way to learn how to sail well; you are on a boat with expert sailors who are helping you to sail the boat. In this session we will introduce sailboat racing and cover a broad range of topics that will enable you to have fun while racing keelboats.
Adam Traina - Skipper, X-Dimension
| Jan/19 | Thu | 06:30PM-08:30PM | 66-160 |
Where are you? How will you get to your destination safely? In this course we will cover the basics of coastal navigation, including how to read nautical charts, identification of navigation aids, proper compass use and the rules for safe navigation.
Theodric Young - Skipper, X-Dimension
| Jan/24 | Tue | 06:30PM-08:30PM | 66-160 |
This session covers what you need to know to be safe sailing bigger boats offshore. Topics covered will include:
Scott Dynes - Skipper, X-Dimension
| Jan/26 | Thu | 06:30PM-08:30PM | 66-160 |
In part two of this introduction to coastal navigation, we will further discuss skills for safe navigation, including understanding of tides and currents, the navigation rules, as well as techniques for using electronic devices such as depth sounders, GPS, and RADAR.
Theodric Young - Skipper, X-Dimension
| Jan/31 | Tue | 06:30PM-08:30PM | 66-160 |
You¿ve probably heard `Red sky at night, sailor¿s delight; red sky in morning, sailors take warning¿, but did you ever wonder why that is so? In this session we will cover many aspects of weather as it related to sailing, including:
Eric Brown - Skipper, X-Dimension
| Feb/02 | Thu | 06:30PM-08:30PM | 66-160 |
Before there was GPS, there were the stars. In this session we will go through the theory and practice of celestial navigation; we hope to have enough sextants to allow for hands-on activities. While you will not walk away from this class knowing how to navigate by the stars, you will know why and how it works, and what to do next if you want to learn celestial navigation in detail.

This unique experiential course will teach key concepts and skills for exploring our shadows through analyzing emotions and addressing the impact of formative experiences on our operating beliefs and behaviors. We will gain a higher level of self-awareness and begin the process of troubleshooting deep-seated obstacles to success and happiness.
Issues that can be explored include:
Concepts and skills taught include:
You must register for the sessions you will attend. We have 10 spots per session. You will be placed on a wait-list if registration for a session is full.
