Time and time again I've pivoted into relatively unattainable roles for someone with my background and demographics. Each time having to overcome naysayers and my own imposter syndrome. What I've learned over the years and am still learning is how to truly lean into what you know to propel you forward in a new position or while pivoting careers.
In this chat, I want you to walk away with skills that will help you:
- Face fears by letting go and being yourself within new roles and new teams
- Strategically use soft skills to get the technical job you want
- Advocate for yourself if you're looking to pivot in your career
