When a career shift happens unexpectedly, whether it’s a layoff, a paused search, or a pivot you’ve chosen yourself, it’s easy to feel stuck. What comes next? How do you move forward with confidence and purpose?

On Feb. 27 at 12 p.m. ET, Women in Retail Leadership Circle will host the second installment of  our Women in Retail: Next Chapter Sessions, a members-only, peer-based virtual series designed to help women navigate career transitions. This session, Owning Your Narrative Online, isn’t about generic advice; it’s about action. Participants will walk away with a framework for crafting and sharing their career story online, creating a LinkedIn announcement that highlights expertise, builds visibility, and engages their network with confidence.

Guided by Amie Sheridan, founder of WINS, and Shanon Sallis, former divisional vice president at Zales, Signet Jewelers (and a Women in Retail Leadership Circle member), the session will offer space for reflection, connection and peer support. It’s a reminder that even sudden change can be a powerful opportunity to reset, refocus, and gain momentum.

Women in Retail: Next Chapter Sessions are about more than just skill-building. They are designed to engage and support community. Each 90-minute session blends structured introductions, expert insight, and facilitated discussion in a judgment-free environment. Members can share experiences, exchange ideas, and lean on one another while navigating uncertainty.

Career transitions are rarely easy, but when approached with perspective, connection and strategy, they can become defining moments in a professional journey. For members of the Women in Retail Leadership Circle, Next Chapter Sessions provide the clarity, guidance and momentum to step boldly into what’s next.
