美国华人金融协会（CFAA）将于8月18日举办“磨练软实力走向成功”（ Achieve Success Through Stronger Soft Skills）专题讲座，主办方将邀请职业社交培训中心（Geotrans Learning Center）总经理胡艳芳博士，将为大家讲解华裔专业人士在职业生涯中面临的机遇与挑战，就培养语言能力、人际交流技巧等“软实力”提供分析与建议。
金融市场的发展提供了大量的工作职业机遇，美国金融业也正吸引这越来越多的华裔金融及技术人员加入，很多即将毕业的中国留学生在努力寻找金融业编程方面的初级职位，而很多资深的华裔专业人士则面临职场升迁的考验。
众所周知，主流社会对华人存在的刻板成见，比如专业过硬却不善交际，不善表达。广大华裔专业人士要取得职场升迁，这些刻板成见固然会带来不利影响，但决定个人职业发展的关键仍然是华人自己的职业规划，如何看待和处理自己的职业。在本次的专题讲座上，胡艳芳博士将同大家一起探讨这些方面的问题。
本次讲座的具体时间为8月18日，下午5:15,地点为市中心The Union League Club of Chicago，7楼 Room 700（65 West Jackson Blvd，Chicago,IL ）。本次讲座，美国华人金融协会会员每位$8, 非会员网上登记，每位$13, 现场登记,每位$18。参加本次活动请着正装，不可穿牛仔裤、无领衬衫、拖鞋。
