I really appreciated your workshop on networking this weekend. I’m new to the networking scene and have been unsure on how to approach it, especially as I venture into new fields. The workshop was very helpful and I am looking forward to testing out my new skills!

Postdoctoral Fellow, North Carolina State University

Ms. Wilson-Grant is a great speaker who is able to flawlessly adapt her speech to people with varied backgrounds, taking the time to understand everyone’s needs. I found her workshops very thought-provoking and full of relevant, practical advice.

Engineer / Account Manager at GATE Informatic SA

Not only is Dara extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter she presents, she goes above and beyond to ensure that she is also knowledgeable about who her audience will be. This results in a workshop that feels individualized and personalized for each participant, even though the presentation itself is to a whole group.

Director, Office of Training & Academic Services, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute

I was an attendee at your workshop on networking at the NIEHS Biomedical Career Symposium last week. You helped me feel more confident in my understanding of how to be successful at networking and now I feel confident enough to get out and start developing this important skill! Thank you!

PhD candidate, Wake Forest University

Dara has facilitated in improving my interviewing and interpersonal skills, which helped me become more competitive in the job market.

Former Postdoc, Current Medical Writer

Dara Wilson-Grant is a warm, charming, and phenomenal speaker. Her session on interviewing was the best session I heard all day. She handled questions with poise, offered new information, and gave an overall SMASHING performance.

Postdoctoral Scholar, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

I wanted to tell you that I just networked myself into an amazing new position. Your workshop really did help and so you certainly get a little bit of the credit for my new job.

Former Postdoctoral Scholar, current Medical Science Liaison

This was by far the most interesting and helpful RCR workshop that I’ve attended. It was applicable to anyone whereas many workshops that I see advertised seem to have a relatively narrow focus.

Graduate Student (Humanities & Social Science), Duke University

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the time you spent in giving the “Transferable Skills” seminar at Duke today. I learned so many valuable things from your presentation. I do not think I would have caught the flaws—the detailed, technical description of my research experience and the lack of incorporating soft skills in describing those experience—in my resume. You provided very helpful advice, and I am looking forward to attending other upcoming seminars provided by you.

Postdoc, Duke University

Wonderful, wonderful presentation! You held my attention the entire time!
