As we reach the midpoint of our career, most of us find ourselves asking whether or not it's time for a change. Sometimes we contemplate internal moves to increase our influence. Other times we consider making significant changes like changing industries, going from for-profit to non-profit, or starting our own business.
On this panel discussion, you will hear from leaders and experts who either have made mid-career changes themselves or support others in doing so.
Our panelists will discuss questions like these:
What are the risks and challenges of making a mid-career change? What are the potential opportunities and rewards?
How do you prepare for a career change? What steps do you take to ensure success?
What resources are available for support?
How do you tell your professional story to support your desired change? If you were part of a downsize or a layoff, how does that affect your story?
What tools are most relevant? Resume? CV? Linked In? Other?
If you made a change, what advice do you have for others? What surprises did you encountered?
What happens if someone makes a big mid-career move then feels as if it was a misstep or mistake?
What have been your best practices for entering a new organization at the mid or senior level?
