Before you set another career goal for 2027, start with a different question: What do you want your work to make room for?
This session is led by Afua Laast, who started her career as a school social worker before moving into workforce development at the NYC Department of Education. She’s used her transferable skills and storytelling to navigate several career pivots and now works in tech as a change management strategist.
We’ll start with a short reflection on what you want from your next chapter. Then you’ll use AI to uncover your transferable skills, explore possible paths, and research what those paths actually involve. By the end, you’ll pick one direction and write your own Next Move Statement.
The formula is simple:
My priorities + my transferable skills → one direction to explore + one next step
For example: “I want more creativity in my work and already enjoy training colleagues. I’ll explore customer education by creating a short tutorial and getting feedback from someone in the field within 30 days.”
You’ll leave with:
A clearer picture of what you want your work to make room for
Your transferable skills, backed by real examples from your experience
Practical AI prompts to explore new roles, industries, or ways to grow where you are
A personalized Next Move Statement with one concrete step to take in 2027
This session is for you if you’re considering a pivot, looking to grow in your current role, or want your work to fit your life better.
Bring your curiosity and access to your preferred AI tool.
