Date & Time

Description

This session is designed for women navigating career shifts within or into the renewable energy space—whether you're changing departments, returning from a break, transitioning from the military or another industry, or stepping into new leadership territory. We'll explore how to reframe your skills, communicate value across sectors, and build toward roles that align with who you are now—not just where you’ve been. For team leaders, this is a chance to rethink how you structure roles, recognize hidden potential, and support nontraditional pathways within your team.
In this session, you will:

  • See yourself in the big picture: Understand how your lived experience, strengths, and story fit within the broader clean energy ecosystem—even if your background isn’t “typical.”
  • Learn to pivot with purpose: Practice assessing your skills and applying them in new, meaningful ways across job functions, industries, or impact areas.
  • Break out of the ladder mindset: Explore the “career lattice” model and learn how lateral moves, stretch roles, and cross-functional work can lead to sustainable growth.
  • Support others through change: If you're a manager or mentor, learn how to spot transferable skills, reframe job descriptions, and open up internal pathways for team growth.
  • Walk away with usable tools: Gain access to frameworks, reflection prompts, and conversation starters you can apply right away—in interviews, check-ins, or team planning.
  • Build clarity through community: Hear from peers in transition, share insights in real time, and leave with a renewed sense of direction rooted in real-world experience.
