If you're feeling stuck, in transition, or ready to take your career to the next level, this in-person workshop will give you the tools and momentum to move forward purposefully. Designed for job seekers or professionals considering a career pivot or figuring out how to grow within their current role, the workshop blends guided reflection, group discussion, and individual work time to help you articulate your unique strengths and accomplishments, update your professional materials, and set clear career goals. You'll leave with a personal brand statement, a practiced elevator pitch, refreshed language for your resume and LinkedIn, and a plan for expanding your professional network.

Throughout the day, participants will learn strategies they can immediately use. These include learning how to update your LinkedIn profile to attract the opportunities you're looking for; how to set focused, actionable goals; and practical ways to streamline your job search or career planning with AI tools. Whether you're actively job hunting or planning your next move, this workshop will equip you with tangible tools and a renewed sense of direction.

Participants will have the opportunity to put what they’re learning into practice, and they are encouraged to bring a laptop or other device to work on tasks in class.
