Are you hungry to reach your potential as a racialized or first-generation professional? The bad news is, being good at what you do is a start, but is not enough. The good news is, you can maximize your success if you learn to network, navigate the professional terrain, and negotiate everything. In this session, Samantha Wilson Jones, Founder & CEO of Jewels Advancing, Nurturing & Empowering, Inc. (JANE), will share tools and techniques to master the 3 N’s of career success.
