It’s hard to believe she used to keep to herself. According to Tiara, the changes happened with the help of her accounting professor, Kara Stevens. Professor Stevens saw that there was a talented accountant hiding underneath Tiara’s quiet personality. In the spring semester of 2016, Professor Stevens encouraged Tiara to showcase her accounting skills and apply for an internship at Chestnut Realty, a company managing the acquisitions, development, and leasing of commercial real estate in New England. Little did she know, this internship would allow her to come out of her shell! Three days after Tiara applied, Bill Steinberg from Chestnut Realty invited her for a panel Subscribe Share Past Issues Translate interview. The thought of being interviewed by 4 people made Tiara feel nervous, so she looked for ways to ease her anxiety. The day before the interview, Tiara did a ‘Power Pose’, based on a video she had seen in WEL310. She stood tall with her chest out and her hands on her hips just like Wonder Woman for two minutes. Another trick that she prepared was writing the word “smile” on the back of her portfolio in bright colors. When the anxiety kicked in during the interview, Tiara glanced at the back of her portfolio and reminded herself to smile and connect with her interviewers.

    Smith College Jill Ker Conway Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center

    Smith College Jill Ker Conway Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Submission: Outstanding Emerging Entrepreneurship Center Submitted by: Monica Dean, Director Jill Ker Conway Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, Smith College 718-764-3578 [email protected] 1. Briefly discuss the rationale for creating this entrepreneurship center including who the stakeholders are and how you garnered their interest and support. When given the chance, women are more likely than men to start a business. In 2018, more than 1,800 new women-owned businesses were launched every day in the United States. Currently, there are about 12.3 million women-owned businesses in the country, employing more than 9 million people and generating close to $2 trillion in annual revenue. The impact is undeniable when women’s entrepreneurial aspirations are supported: communities thrive, families are stronger, and our world is better because the marketplace is more diverse. At Smith College, we recognize that barriers to women’s entrepreneurial success still exist—and we’re committed to tearing them down. We believe the most effective way to level the playing field is by creating opportunities for women to dream big and showcase their talents as thinkers, makers and founders of future businesses. Soon after arriving at Smith in 2013, President McCartney expressed her vision for a center for women focused on innovation and entrepreneurship. In February 2015, the college embarked on a strategic planning process and in accordance with the plan’s Strategic Theme 3 – Experiential and Applied Opportunities, a decision was made to invest in programs that connect students’ academic experiences with creative and practical opportunities.
