Career transition is not a linear path toward a predetermined identity; rather, it's a crooked journey along which we try on a host of possible selves we might become.
Building on our popular 2022 webinars — “Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader” and “The Authenticity Paradox of Leadership” — Herminia Ibarra is back to help women legal professionals and executives tackle career transitions. From complete reinventions to expanded portfolios and third-act contemplations, Herminia will help us unpack what makes career transitions so difficult and challenge conventional thinking about why and how people advance and transition throughout their careers. Drawing on research for her upcoming new work and her book Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career, she will provide practical tools for navigating a potentially confusing and uncertain time in your career with hope, optimism and agency.
