Dallas SWE’s January Book Club Recap

by Dallas SWE on in Special Events

In our latest book club meeting, we discuss The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg. This book expanded on the idea of habits and the basic trifecta surrounding businesses, individuals and society. It further explains that habits are malleable and that we are truly able to change for the better. We also discussed some of our own habits that we are excited to change and also some of the interesting case studies from the book. As we continue to explore our own worlds, we were amazed by the impacts of the various cases, whether it be Civil Rights Movement, Target or enabling an individual to quite smoking. Everyone really enjoyed the brunch whilst also chatting and getting to know each other over the book. 

If you would like to participate in the next book club meeting, please email dallas.swe@gmail.com or join us on Goodreads and be sure to sign up on the Eventbrite!We look forward to seeing you there soon! 

Dallas SWE’s 2020 Kick Off Brunch Recap

by Dallas SWE on in Special Events

To give a kick start to 2020, our devoted Dallas SWE members braved the snow and ice to gather at True Food kitchen on January 11th.  Sixteen amazing women donned heavy jackets and scarves as they made their way carefully to Preston Plaza to meet up and participate in this month’s social gathering. We had an amazing host that had our table ready when we got there. It was exciting to see some new faces.

The day didn’t go without a surprise, as our own Haley Barnes was recognized by SWE and given the WE Local Collegiate Guiding Star Award. She will be accepting her award in London.  The entire SWE family is happy for her achievement and thanks to Haley for bringing the award home. We would like to thank Haley’s husband, Scott, for joining our event. Also, special thanks to Haritha Yearuva for coordinating this membership event!
