While the temperatures outside clearly remind us that we’re still in summer, we all know that fall is coming — and with it a sense of renewal and transformation, making it a perfect backdrop for re-evaluating career goals and aspirations. Embracing times of change can lead to discovering roles that align more closely with evolving career ambitions, setting the stage for growth and success.

That’s why late summer is the perfect time to present our next virtual Member Workshop, “Crafting Your Narrative for Your Next Opportunity,” happening on Aug. 22 at 12 p.m. ET. This workshop is designed to help you articulate your career story effectively, positioning yourself for growth and success in the coming year.

The dynamic and interactive workshop, presented in partnership with our sister association, Women Leading Travel & Hospitality, is being conducted by Kate Sargent, founder of KJS Coaching & Consulting. It will dive into the importance of storytelling and crafting your narrative when seeking a new job, promotion, board seat, or bold career transition. After all, in the realm of career development, your narrative is more than just a story — it should strategically combine your skills, experiences and aspirations into a compelling package.

The workshop will equip you with strategies to frame your professional narrative in a way that resonates with company leaders, hiring managers, and recruiters. You’ll learn how to highlight your unique contributions using tools such as your resume, LinkedIn profile, networking, and interviewing techniques to pave the way for future achievements.

This complimentary workshop, which will be held on Zoom, is exclusively for Women in Retail Leadership Circle members as well as members of our sister brand, Women Leading Travel & Hospitality. Members must be logged into their Women in Retail profile to register. Not a member? Apply today!
