@ As a first-generation immigrant, career coach Ricky Koo was taught to work hard, stay humble and let results speak. Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: You can be great at your job and still be misunderstood, overlooked or underestimated. In this webinar, Ricky Koo—a first-generation immigrant who rose through the ranks to become a corporate executive before building his own professional coaching business— breaks down what actually shapes how you’re perceived at work, and how to take control of your professional narrative without being fake, loud or political in ways that feel misaligned. This isn’t about self-promotion. It’s about self-definition. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to: • Define your professional brand clearly—so others stop guessing your value or mislabeling your intent • Advocate for yourself without feeling awkward or “bragging”, even if you’ve been taught to keep your head down • Navigate workplace dynamics with confidence, instead of pretending they don’t exist (because ignoring them is a strategy—and usually a costly one) • Stay grounded in your worth during high-pressure moments, so stress, feedback or hierarchy don’t shake how you show up Regardless of your career level or what industry you work in, this session can help you develop your skills in self advocacy and intentional branding, refine your voice and create lasting impact. ### [Advising Communities of Excellence (ACE)](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/advising-communities-of-excellence-ace/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

Bolsa Chica has moved to a pay to park system, and we are currently working on a way to allow people to park freely. We will update this if we have a viable path before this cleanup. * Check in at the Surfrider popup tent * We have bags **Cleaning up:** * You can scavenge the shoreline, beach, parking lot, etc. * Do NOT collect seaweed, wood, rocks, stones, seashells by the seashore sold by Sally. Let us know if you find any ‘sleeping’ animals for Parks and Rec. to scoop up. * Bring us back your trash once your bag is full, time runs out, or you must leave.

@ Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they lack passion. They fail because they build something customers don’t actually want. In this interactive workshop, UCLA alumna and Business Strategist Sami Toussi ’11 will introduce the Lean Canvas framework and walk through the key questions every founder should answer to build a stronger business. You’ll learn how to identify your ideal customer, uncover unmet needs, evaluate growth opportunities, and strengthen your business model. Through guided exercises and real-world examples, you’ll begin applying these concepts to your own business during the session. Whether you’re exploring a side hustle, consulting practice, freelance business, startup, or new business idea, you’ll leave with greater clarity, practical tools, and actionable next steps. You’ll learn how to: • Define your ideal customer • Understand customer pain points and unmet needs • Clarify what makes your solution different • Evaluate your business idea and business model using the Lean Canvas framework • Identify opportunities to turn your skills, expertise, and ideas into income • Use AI as a tool while avoiding common founder blind spots ### Career Support [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/career-support/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ More Than a Trophy – A Lasting Legacy Join Bruin Affiliates for our September luncheon as Cori Close shares her experience coaching a winning team and her approach to carrying it forward. Cori coached the UCLA women’s basketball team to its first- ever NCAA championship last season, and shares the credit with her outstanding woman’s team that exemplified resilience, toughness and a strong bond that held them together during the remarkable season. Mentored by the legendary John Wooden, she has instilled values that brought the team to national recognition. “It’s not about any one of us — it’s about what we build together.” Close has built an extraordinary legacy at UCLA since taking over as head coach in 2011, compiling a 321-143 record and becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach. Her crowning achievement came in 2026 when she led the Bruins to their first-ever women’s basketball national championship, going 37-1 and routing South Carolina 79-51 in the title game, capping back-to-back Big Ten Tournament titles in 2025 and 2026. Along the way she swept all four major national Coach of the Year awards in 2024-25, developed seven WNBA draft picks, and received the 2024 WBCA Carol Eckman Integrity in Coaching Award — earning a contract extension through the 2029-30 season in recognition of her sustained excellence both on and off the court. $45 members only (active annual dues paid), $50 per person ### [Town & Gown Affiliates of UCLA](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/the-town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ Change is the only constant in life, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult, a career pivot you’re contemplating or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. However it shows up, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck, stifled, and afraid tomorrow. Yet, if you are inclined toward personal growth, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom, inner stability and even growth. In this session with Jim Hjort, an executive and career coach, personal development trainer and licensed psychotherapist, you’ll learn: • Why your inner critic and pessimist is actually a key part of your team • Why you may do all the “right” things, while feeling less and less satisfied with your life • How to look beneath the surface of your life story to identify what makes you feel truly alive—so you can have more of that • Communication skills to help you show up for yourself first, so you can show up whole and healthy for anyone else you want in your life • How to not just survive chaos and uncertainty, but embrace it as the essential journey of your life ### Career Support [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/career-support/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live
