Shaping the Arc of Your Career: How to Know What Moves to Make

​Careers rarely follow a straight line. The most successful professionals don’t just react to opportunities, they actively shape the arc of their careers over time.

​In this session, Emily will share lessons from her own career transitions and how she knew it was time to make a move. She’ll explain how to think strategically about the arc of your career, demystify how recruiting works, and challenge the common misconception that you should only interview when you’re ready to leave your job. She’ll also introduce a practical Career Map framework to help you reflect on your past experiences, assess where you are today, and clarify your future career goals.

​Many professionals assume they should only start interviewing when they’re ready to leave their current role. In reality, staying in conversation with the market, even when you’re happy where you are, can be one of the most powerful ways to understand your value and shape your next steps.

​Whether you’re early in your career or thinking about your next transition, this session will offer practical tools and a new perspective on how to navigate career decisions with intention.
