2020-21 OneDuke Together Lunch & Learns

November 2020 – April 2021

The One Duke Conference is an annual conference where the career services professionals from across Duke University gather for a day of professional development and networking. While we are very disappointed that the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented us from organizing our annual Conferences in 2020 and 2021, the Career Centers have proposed an alternative format that will enable us all to convene and share virtually.

Beginning in November and running for six months, the committee will host a Lunch & Learn monthly event series. Each school/center has selected a month to lead/facilitate a topic chosen specifically with Duke career staff interests in mind.

More Story Than Time: Writing & Reflection, A Chance to Catch Up with Ourselves
Laurie Kovens   Recording

Author Flannery O’Connor once said, “I write to discover what I know.” 

In a time of change and uncertainty, writing can help us discover what we know. Studies have demonstrated that writing can decrease stress, improve chronic pain, and process trauma. Even in “regular life,” the busyness and the demands we respond to keep us from slowing down, catching our breaths. We feel individually and communally depleted. And now, many are experiencing the added stress, grief, and pressures of the pandemic.

The Enneagram: What is it?
Karen Stone & Tara Carty  Recording

Join OneDuke colleagues to discover the Enneagram, a framework for learning more about and understanding both ourselves and others, based on nine types of personality. The Enneagram can also be used as a tool to aid in navigating team interaction as well as workplace dynamics. It has ancient roots and was further developed by Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo in the 20th century. Completing the Enneagram assessment here is recommended prior to attending, although not required.
