Workshop 1: Make LinkedIn Work for You
Build a recruiter-magnet profile — without the cringe.
​
I get it — there was a time when recruiters flooded your inbox. Now? Crickets. In today’s competitive tech market, the old “just wait to be found” strategy doesn’t cut it.
​
This session walks participants through six essential profile upgrades to make LinkedIn work for them again — with examples, scripts, and personal brand strategy that feels authentic, not awkward.
​
Outcomes:
✔ A recruiter-ready headline
✔ A personal brand story that sounds like them
✔ Confidence to get visible and get found
​
Workshop 2: Career Clarity — Without Changing Jobs
Get clear on what energizes you and how to do more of it right where you are.
​
In Big Tech, we’re told to “own our careers.” But more often, we end up chasing cool projects or shiny roles — not necessarily ones that fit.
​
This session helps participants step back, reconnect with what actually energizes them, and use that clarity to drive better career decisions inside their current company.
Outcomes:
✔ Clarity on energy-giving vs draining work
✔ A personal “superpowers” list
✔ Career non-negotiables
✔ A roadmap for better growth conversations with managers
​
Workshop 3: Tame Impostor Syndrome & Build Real Confidence
Stop second-guessing. Start speaking up.
​
Tech culture tells us to fail fast, take on big scope, and figure it out as we go. But for a lot of people — especially those newer to leadership or underrepresented in the room — that just feeds impostor syndrome.
​
This session gives participants the tools to quiet the inner critic, reframe self-doubt, and speak with confidence about what they bring to the table.
​
Outcomes:
✔ Strategies to manage impostor moments (without needing a pep talk)
✔ Clear language to talk about their skills + impact
✔ A reframed version of their story that feels true
✔ More presence in interviews, reviews, and team settings
