Deborah Liverman, Ph.D. is the Executive Director of Career Advising and Professional Development for MIT. In addition, Deborah co-leads the Pay Equity Working Group, a team of collaborators across the university that promotes pay equity for MIT students and graduates.
I first had the opportunity to meet Deborah at the Global Career Services Summit in Washington, D.C. when we were seated together in the first morning roundtable. We had such a great initial conversation, and I'm glad we were able to delve deeper here.
In this episode, we discuss the three different leadership styles she draws on (Transformational, Situational and Authentic Leadership), the ways in which MIT being an R1 university impacts the work of career services, her own research into how women of color make informed career decisions in STEM, why the "early and often" model may not be the right strategy for all students, and so much more!
