How to Change Careers: Meet Fellow Career Changers and Get Unstuck
March 25 (Online)
Thinking of changing careers? Feeling professionally stuck? Unsure of what to do next? Or maybe you have an idea, but you are not taking action to make it happen.
Gather online with Career Changers from all over the world and explore how to leverage your current skills and talents to move into a different career.
- Recognize specific beliefs that are preventing you from changing career and how to shift them
- Identify the most powerful actions that will move you towards the career you desire
- Feel inspired about doing what you love
Join me to share, connect, and explore the present to build a better professional future.
Experience a different way to learn: not top down, not isolating or disconnected. Instead experience a participatory, judgmental, warm, supportive environment that fosters connection and inspires you to trust yourself while caring for others.
This event will take place live online. You can calculate your local time to participate here. I will host the gathering twice to make it easy for people from different time zones to participate. You only need to attend once 🙂
Please note that this event will NOT be recorded.
Logistics:
- This interactive gathering will be live online. You can choose to connect at 11 am or at 5 pm (Los Angeles Time): I will send a private link to join using Zoom only to those who register online.
- Please make sure you have fast and reliable internet connection, video camera, headphones and mic as needed to participate.
- Although a Zoom app is available, I highly recommend you plan on attending using your laptop or desktop computer.
- The workshop is open to anybody from anywhere in the world. The entire workshop will be in English – you need to be proficient in order to benefit from it.
- Please choose a quiet environment free of distractions to participate: this is a completely live and interactive workshop and you will need to be fully present and participate.
- Repurpose Your Purpose is a framework to get you unstuck and ready to move into a new career.
- This event is offered as a gift to all Career Changers
