Happy National Women’s Month WOGA members! This month reminds us to look at the contributions of women, to events in history and contemporary society. We’ve made great progress and should acknowledge and celebrate the hard work! Let’s continue to work together and continue our journey to make the world a better place.
March Lean In Circle Lunch: Making Intentional Choices, Forming Good Daily Habits, and Personal Discipline
We are happy to welcome Margot Timbel as our keynote speaker this month. Margot’s talk will emphasize the importance of making intentional choices, dealing with errors and how to productively recover from them, and making and keeping good daily habits.
Margot Timbel didn’t know total depth from touchdown when she began her energy industry career as a geologist with Amoco Production Company in Denver in 1979. Thirty-five years later, in 2014, she retired from only the second company she worked for — Anschutz Exploration Corporation — as their Senior Vice President. Having worked all over the United States and overseas, Margot has experienced the industry from the viewpoint of a technical person, supervisor, manager, quality consultant, leader and executive. She has worked in all facets of the upstream business including field operations, environmental and safety supervision and litigation support. Her numerous roles also include wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and colleague. Margot is a graduate of Princeton University, the mother of two, wife of Ned and co-founder with Ned of Comeback Yoga, a nonprofit service organization delivering free trauma-informed Veterans Yoga to military families and their caregivers in the greater Denver metro area.

SAVE THE DATE: Join us for our April Lean In Lunch as we discuss negotiation strategies with Cindi Fukami, Professor of Management, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver. Learn concrete tips you can use every day, at work and at home to Navigate Negotiation.
While some people love to negotiate, many more dislike and avoid negotiation. Power is often at the heart of negotiation, and so we need to claim our power and use it to create value. In this workshop, we will explore “principled negotiation,” where there are more similarities to problem solving than to waging battle. We will also discuss whether women experience different challenges than men in effectively negotiating for outcomes
Dr. Cynthia V. Fukami (Cindi) is a Professor in the Department of Management at the Daniels College of Business, University of Denver. She earned her B.A. in Psychology and her M.A. in Organizational Behavior from the University of Illinois and her Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior from Northwestern University’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management. As a faculty member at the University of Denver, she has taught courses on Strategic Human Resources Management, Power and Influence, Negotiation, Compensation and Reward Systems, and Organizational Behavior in the fulltime, online, Professional and Executive MBA programs.
