The world of work has changed, and it’s not changing back. The career ladder has been replaced by something messier, more human, and more demanding of the people and organizations trying to navigate it. Whether you’re finding your first job, pivoting after a layoff, or rethinking what success looks like at midlife, the question isn’t just “what skills do I need?” It’s “how do I think, adapt, and grow in a world that won’t stop shifting?”
Our guest speaker Dr. Shane Goldstein Smith will help you more deeply understand the reinvention economy, share frameworks for helping you build your own path forward rather than follow a borrowed one, and explore why emotional intelligence and strategic thinking are no longer “nice to haves,” they are vocational skills. Expect to leave with practical takeaways, some provocative questions, a different way of thinking about the work you do every day and ideas to start you on forging your plan and path forward.
GUEST SPEAKER: Dr. Shane Goldstein Smith

You don’t even need to be an introvert to feel anxious at the thought of networking. Do you wish you felt more comfortable meeting new people, but feel like networking is too quick and shallow for you to do it right? Do you feel misunderstood, coming off as unfriendly without meaning to?
The Networking for Introverts webinar has been designed to address those specific concerns and more.
GUEST SPEAKER: Stephanie Thoma
