Navigating your Career: Lessons Learned and Success Strategies

Careers don’t always follow a straight line — and that’s a good thing! In this talk, I’ll share lessons learned from my own journey and from others who’ve navigated career twists, pauses, and pivots. You’ll hear practical strategies for building confidence, staying current, and navigating transitions at every career stage. We’ll look at how to recognize, build, and communicate your value, how to adapt to emerging technologies and new work cultures, and how to re-enter the workforce after time away. Whether you’re early in your career, returning after a pause, or seeking your next chapter, you’ll leave with practical strategies and encouragement to move forward with clarity and confidence.
