About the event
Description:
This engaging and reflective presentation is designed for women who want to create greater meaning, fulfillment, and purpose in their work and lives. Participants will explore the key components of meaningful work—including purpose, belonging, strengths, growth, contribution, and alignment with personal values—and examine how these elements influence career satisfaction and overall well-being. Using the Values Bridge framework inspired by Suzy Welch's Becoming You, attendees will identify their core values and learn how those values serve as a guide for evaluating career opportunities, navigating life transitions, making confident decisions, and overcoming professional challenges.
Join us to learn how:
Meaningful work begins with knowing your values. Understanding your core values provides a foundation for making career and life decisions that lead to greater fulfillment, engagement, and purpose.
The Values Bridge is a practical decision-making tool. Participants will learn how to use the Values Bridge to evaluate career opportunities, navigate transitions, overcome challenges, and ensure their choices align with what matters most.
Purpose is created through alignment. When your work reflects your values, strengths, and desire to contribute, you are more likely to experience motivation, resilience, well-being, and long-term career satisfaction.
