Gorick Ng Speaking Topics

How to Manage More Effectively and Inclusively

For people leaders. People don’t leave companies; they leave managers. Unfortunately, the vast majority of managers get zero training, leading to management through trial and error. In this session, Gorick shares the most common frustrations managers have towards their teams—and how tiny tweaks in one’s management approach can help people leaders help others help themselves.

How to Reach “Level 7 Ownership”

For all audiences (especially individual contributors). What separates star performers from the rest? An ownership mindset. In this session, Gorick demystifies what ownership looks like and sounds like, from “level 1” (how school conditions us to behave) to “level 7” (what star performers do subconsciously) in some of the most common scenarios at work, from asking for help to managing projects.

How to Succeed in a New Internship or Job

For students + interns + early career professionals. Hard skills get you hired, but a lack of soft skills gets you fired. In this workshop, Gorick shows how little things in your first day, week, month, and year can make a big difference in the trajectory of your career.

How to Take Control Of Your Career

For all audiences (especially individual contributors). If you want it, you have to strive for it. If what you want doesn’t exist, you have to create it. If you aren’t sure you can have it, you have to ask for it. In this session, Gorick shares strategies for how to take your career development into your own hands.

How to Make the Most of Higher Education: Reflections from a First-Gen, Low-Income College Grad

For first-gen college students, low-income students, and other non-traditional students. Look around your campus. Who are your most engaged students? Chances are, the students you are thinking of have family and mentors with a college or advanced degree. How can all of your students persist, graduate, and succeed? In this session, Gorick shares his experiences as a first-gen college student, first-gen MBA, and Harvard career adviser, how he came to navigate the unspoken rules, and the tips he learned along the way.
