Are you ready to pivot from your career path? – Women in Leadership

THEME

Authentic leadership

Are you ready to pivot from your career path?

WHY

How do you pivot when you have no idea what you’re doing or where to start? Tired of running circles inside your head. All you want – is to get truly started on your change: to feel some traction, to get out there and begin.

WHAT WILL YOU HEAR

We draw on the stories shared by out professionals and their unconventional career rules, that could radically increase your chances of finding something you love.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

For those who are considering a career change or those unfortunate to have lost their jobs due to COVID19, we will have engaging conversations with chartered accountants who have broken out of conventional thinking and started a new career. We will look at their journeys and their thoughts and considerations before embarking on new journeys. The success of these professionals is underpinned by having to unlearn and relearn and the audience will have an opportunity to hear from the learning expert on the panel.
