SUMMARY:The Reinvention Economy and How to Build Your Own Career Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:The world of work has changed\, and it's not changing back. The career ladder has been replaced by something messier\, more human\, and more demanding of the people and organizations trying to navigate it. Whether you're finding your first job\, pivoting after a layoff\, or rethinking what success looks like at midlife\, the question isn't just "what skills do I need?" It's "how do I think\, adapt\, and grow in a world that won't stop shifting?" \nOur guest speaker Dr. Shane Goldstein Smith will help you more deeply understand the reinvention economy\, share frameworks for helping you build your own path forward rather than follow a borrowed one\, and explore why emotional intelligence and strategic thinking are no longer "nice to haves\,” they are vocational skills. \nExpect to leave with practical takeaways\, some provocative questions\, a different way of thinking about the work you do every day and ideas to start you on forging your plan and path forward. \nThere will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation.
