Authentic Professionalism for Early Career Professionals

“Bring your whole self to work.”

“Show up as a professional and leave the personal at the door.”

Which is it? What does it actually mean to be professional and authentic at the same time?

In this highly interactive workshop with Strategic Career & Leadership Coach Carole-Ann Penney, you’ll define your professional identity and develop strategies to confidently navigate workplace dynamics. You'll clarify your core values, explore the connections between authenticity and professionalism, and learn strategies for building meaningful connections with senior colleagues. No matter your industry or experience level, you’ll walk away with the tools to show up with confidence, influence effectively, and thrive in any office culture.

Participants will walk away with:
● A clearly defined set of core values that form your authentic presence
● A greater understanding of what it means for you to be both authentic and professional at work
● A four-step framework for authentically connecting with & influencing others
