SUMMARY:English Coaching for Non-Native Speakers - 2026
DESCRIPTION:Schedule\nSessions will be scheduled on an individual basis with the instructor. Once you have registered\, contact courses@massbioed.org\, and you will be put in touch with the instructor to schedule your six (6) coaching sessions. \nDescription\nEnglish Coaching For Non-Native Speakers offers coaching for life sciences professionals for whom English is not a native language. The course provides in-depth training on ways to become more confident communicating inside and outside of the workplace. Classes incorporate key soft skills using roleplays of common workplace situations that take students out of their comfort zones. Sessions are scheduled on an individual basis with the instructor. \nFocus areas will vary by individual\, but may include the following: \n\nPlacing information in context\, interpreting it\, and communicating to specific audiences\, orally and in writing.\n“Reading people” and relationship building.\nEngaging effectively as a member of a team.\nFlexibility and adaptability\, “going with the flow” during periods of change.\nFor project leadership/management roles\, conflict resolution\, being proactive\, motivating team members and giving constructive feedback.\n\n\n“Learning fruitful teachings\, such as vocabulary\, grammar and cultural differences\, were the most valuable parts of the course\, as well as wonderful communication with a capable person who is in the Boston area and was generous to a foreign student.” – English Coaching Attendee\, August 2021 \n\nInstructor\nRichard Goldberg\nEnglish Instructor \nRichard Goldberg has been helping non-native speakers improve their English skills for over 25 years. He has worked with highly-skilled\, highly-educated biotechnology and data analytics professionals\, international students and immigrant adults. His work with life sciences companies includes improving pronunciation\, presentation skills\, business writing\, and improving telephone\, online and face-to-face communication. He previously directed and taught in one of Massachusetts’ first college transition programs which sent the largest number of adults to college among 82 state-funded adult basic education programs.  He is currently an adjunct English instructor in Northeastern University’s Global Pathways Program\, College of Professional Studies. Richard holds a Master’s Degree in Applied Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts Boston.

SUMMARY:Essential Skills Workshop: Navigating Your Career Choices
DESCRIPTION:This talk facilitated by Lauren Celano of Propel Careers provides tips and advice in order to structure an effective career exploration process and ultimately a career search. We will focus on important questions to ask in order to identify “drivers” that can influence career choices. Once identified\, we will provide examples for how to leverage these drivers during a career search. We will cover a range of career paths outside of traditional academic PI and industry research roles in order to increase awareness of the numerous career paths available. We will talk about timing for these activities and how to track progress\, focus your time and lessen the feeling of being overwhelmed. Lastly\, we will provide tips for how to engage others to help you\, so that you are not alone in this process.
