What participants can expect

Over the course of 5x 90-minute weekly sessions, participating in the Women of Color: Build Your Community & Advance Your Career program, will help you to deepen your relationships with colleagues, give voice and clarity to your career goals, empower you to have difficult conversations and the confidence to expand your network within and beyond your organization.

We will share a pre-course survey with you, and ask that you complete the week prior to the course start date. Your answers will reflect your learning style, expectations and goals. This will help us to better shape the course to meet your needs.

Participation will also give you access to the broader community of past course participants that will allow for ongoing networking, and building your community.

What we’ll cover

Purpose Identification

Purpose and vision ground us in where we focus our time and energy. We’ll focus on a step by step method to get to a purpose and vision statement for a specific area in your career that you want to focus on professionally.

Goal Alignment

Once you know what your purpose and vision are in a specific area you’re interested in working on, it’s time to attribute goals that align with your purpose and vision.

Network Audit

Who are the people in your network that can support you (and you can support) and how do you activate them in service of your goals?

Outreach Roadmap

A roadmap for engaging with new, and existing network connections. Finding ways most comfortable to you, that highlight your thought leadership and subject matter expertise.

Action Planning

How will you in short, medium and long term steps incorporate your strengths, goals and network connections into your daily life and your professional roadmap?
