Transferable Skills for Purpose-Driven Pros: Project Management Edition

​You've got years of real, meaningful work behind you. You know (...or at least, you THINK you know...) you've been doing project management (... or at least, or something that looks a lot LIKE it...) for most of your career. (Wait, what counts as project management again, exactly?)

​Million-dollar question: if the skill is so "transferable", why is so hard to talk about?!

​Sometimes it's nerves. Sometimes it's the vocabulary. Sometimes it's not knowing which parts of your story your audience actually cares about. Usually it's some combination of all three.

​Let's help you sort that out.

​In this workshop, we'll work through:

• ​Understanding why "listing your transferable skills" isn't landing — and what to do instead

• ​Learning a simple framework for mapping your experience to what your audience actually care about

• ​Getting a crash course in project management — what it actually is, why it matters, and where you're probably already doing it without the vocabulary

​We'll use project management as our learning lab for this session — but the framework you'll build works for any skill you're trying to translate.

​This is for you if:

• ​You work in higher ed, nonprofits, or social impact and you're figuring out what's next

• ​You've tried using "project management language" and it felt weird or didn't land

• ​You're not sure how to talk about your experience in a way that sounds like you and lands with your audience

​(PS: Bring a real example from your current or recent work -- you'll use it!)
