What is this and who is it for?

This is a free, one-hour live workshop for ambitious women who know they want something different at work but aren't quite sure how to get from here to there.

Maybe you're burned out. Maybe you've outgrown the role you worked so hard to get and liked for several years. Or maybe you simply have a nagging feeling that you're capable of something more exciting and fulfilling.

Breaking into a new role or industry can feel terrifying. What if you have to start over from scratch? What if you take a step backward? What if you choose wrong?

Here's the truth: you don't have to blow up your career to build a new one. Your existing experience, skills, relationships, and accomplishments can become the raw material for your next chapter. You just need to know how to translate them.

I moved from architecture and non-profits to building products in scaling tech startups.

In this hour, we'll discuss the playbook for making a career pivot strategically: it's 50% figuring out what you actually want, and identifying the strengths you can take with you, and 50% executing that career move in a realistic timeframe without the stress.

If you're tired of thinking "I want to do something different" for the past 2 years, and ready to actually make the move, this session is for you.

What we'll do together (60 minutes):

  • Get clear on your next chapter: how to figure out what you actually want when you know your current role isn't it

  • Identify your transferable strengths and unfair advantages, the things you can take with you into a new role or industry

  • Decode the gap between where you are and where you want to go, and figure out what you actually need to learn

  • Build your career pivot story so your past experience feels like an asset, not a liability

  • How not to feel like an outsider in new rooms

  • The networking + outreach playbook for getting into a new industry when you don't have the "right" connections

  • Avoid the biggest pivot traps: starting from scratch, collecting endless credentials, and applying to jobs you're not positioned for

  • Open Q&A for your specific pivot, target role, industry, or "am I crazy for wanting to do this?" moment

Bring the career you're secretly wishing you had and your current resume.

Whether you know exactly what you want to pivot into or you're still trying to put a name to the thing, you'll leave with a clearer direction, a sharper pivot story, and a concrete playbook for making your next move.
