​Event Description

​Most senior careers reach a point where the next step is not obvious. The role may no longer stretch you, the market may still see you as the person you were five years ago, or your next chapter may involve more than one job. Moving on without losing the influence you’ve built takes planning.

​In this one-hour virtual masterclass, the team at City CV walks you through how to plan a career transition, whether that means moving sector, building a portfolio career or taking on advisory and board roles. You’ll look at how to protect your reputation while you change direction, how to explain your next move clearly and how to make your thinking visible in a new field.

​You’ll leave with practical frameworks to start your own transition roadmap, and live Q&A to put your own situation to the team.

​During the session, we’ll explore:

• ​The signs that it may be time for a change

• ​How to clarify your direction and leadership value

• ​How to build a clear and credible career narrative

• ​Why networks and visibility matter at senior level

• ​How to explain your next move with confidence

• ​Whether a portfolio, advisory or board career could work for you

​Who should join

​This masterclass is for senior professional women who are ready for a next step and want to make it without starting over. That might be a switch of sector, a portfolio of roles, or a move into advisory and board work.

​Whether you’re thriving but curious, considering a move, navigating an unexpected transition or exploring a broader portfolio career, this session will help you think more clearly about where your experience could create the greatest value next.
