The Next Act in Your Career

Tuesday, March 9th, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ET on Zoom

Did you know that confidence can be grown and serendipity can be engineered? Please join us for an exclusive discussion with Wendy Sachs - modern multi-hyphenate, master of the career pivot and author of Fearless and Free: How Smart Women Pivot and Relaunch their Careers - to talk about how women can build their confidence, take risks, and embrace failure. Wendy will also discuss why we need to stop apologizing and get rid of all of those "shrinker" words that diminish us, as well as the power of female networks, and how to brand ourselves, own our stories, create serendipity, and re-enter the workforce if you've taken time out. 

This event is for members of JWI’s Women's Impact Network, our community for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Non-members are invited to join us for two free events before purchasing a membership.

LEARN MORE about the Network or JOIN NOW to form friendships, be inspired, and learn together with incredible women from across the country!
