Bold without Burnout Workshop
Coming Soon
“Caroline, what are all of these Happy Hour(kerk) events?!”
Happy Hour(kerk)s are a signature event around here: monthly, non-awkward facilitated networking sessions!
Held via Zoom, we break up into small groups several times for short conversations with a variety of different people (I’ll give you prompts + directions!). You'll walk away with a bunch of new connections. Short, snappy, and energizing—come see why we always get rave reviews.
Free Workshops for Professional Development
Learn to beat impostor syndrome, stand out from the crowd, make any job a social impact job, and more—on demand!
You Are Here: Making Any Job A Social Impact Job
In partnership with University of Chicago Alumni Careers Office
You don't need to quit your job, go to grad school, or start over to make an impact!
Learn how to incorporate social impact into your current role, gain experience without waiting for someone to hire you, and understand why your "lack" of experience might actually work in your favor.
Beyond Nonprofits: Mapping the Landscape of Social Impact Careers
In partnership with University of Chicago Alumni Careers Office
It can sometimes feel like you have to make a choice: find a fulfilling job aligned with your values that helps make the world a better place, or a job that sucks your soul but pays the bills.
But with an increasing number of companies making a real commitment to deeper social impact, the reality is that there are more ways than ever to get paid well for doing mission-driven work. In this workshop, you’ll learn about the broader range of opportunities out there and how to find them!
Beat Imposter Syndrome: Strategies for Career Confidence
In partnership with University of Chicago Alumni Careers Office
Do you feel like you have no idea what you're doing at work and worry that others are about to find out? Chalk up your accomplishments to luck? Avoid applying to roles unless you meet all the requirements?
Imposter syndrome disproportionately affects high achievers—especially women—and can seriously impact your career trajectory and job satisfaction. But advice like "don't worry" or "fake it till you make it" doesn't work for people used to solving problems with research and skills.
Learn the actual, effective strategies you can use to recognize when imposter syndrome is running the show, understand where it comes from, and keep it in check so you can grow your confidence in the workplace.
Stand Out from the Crowd: Strategies for Landing Your Next Role
In partnership with University of Chicago Alumni Careers Office
Are you job hunting and getting frustrated by never hearing back? Feeling overwhelmed at being just another applicant in the crowd? Not really sure what you want to do next, so you’re just applying for anything that seems remotely relevant?
It’s time to stop throwing applications at the wall to see what sticks, and time to start thinking strategically about how to stand out from the crowd so you can land your next job.
Whether you’re in between roles or are looking to move on from your current role to something more fulfilling, this webinar will give you guidance and clear action steps to reset your strategy, revise your materials, leverage LinkedIn, stand out from the crowd, and, most importantly, land a job you love.
Make Networking Less Awkward
In partnership with University of Pennsylvania
Hate the idea of "working the room" or sending LinkedIn messages to strangers? You’re not alone!
In this workshop, you’ll learn the 10 habits of effective networking that help you build relationships that actually feel authentic (and way less awkward). You'll also learn how to craft your Career Thesis Statement—a working theory about the impact you want to create—and discover how having clarity on where you're headed makes every networking conversation easier and more genuine.
Looking for a custom professional development workshop for your nonprofit, social impact organization, or group?
Let’s make it happen.
I've spent 15+ years facilitating workshops for groups from college students to senior executives. I'm trained in Liberating Structures, adult learning design, and strengths-based coaching—and I'm nerdy about creating experiences where people actually connect with each other while learning something useful.
Selected presentation titles include:
Career Confidence: Strategies For Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
Make Networking Less Awkward
Beyond Nonprofits: Mapping The Landscape Of Social Impact Careers
Stand Out From The Crowd: Strategies For Landing Your Next Role
Direction + Discernment: Figuring Out Your Next Career Move
Workshops can be customized to fit the goals and background of your participants, and since I’m allergic to boring trainings, they’re always engaging and memorable!
