You Are Not Your Work: Detaching Your Identity From Your Career

About this session

In a world that constantly pushes us to be more productive, earn more money, and gain more power, it can be easy to confuse your identity with your job title.

But who are you outside of work? And how can detaching your career from your identity benefit you in your personal and professional life?

Join our conversation with Cultural Intelligence Expert Shiva Roofeh, as she helps us reflect on our identities and differentiate who we are from what we do.

During this chat, Shiva we’ll talk about:

  • The benefits and rewards of detaching your identity from your work
  • What detaching your identity from work looks like in action
  • How to gain clarity on the challenges that may arise
