About the session
This workshop is designed to dive into who you are rather than what you’ve done so you have the vocabulary, confidence and understanding to uniquely portray yourself to your network and potential employers. The traditional resume is helpful as it shows the amazing things you have accomplished, but it can leave the reader to draw his or her own conclusions, to create their own version of your story. It seldom dives into who you are and why that is relevant to the opportunity. In fact, people are not usually taught how to talk about their who or their why at all, especially in a professional context.
More and more, companies are redefining their hiring process to extract this information because the reality is, if you are generally smart and capable, you can learn almost anything. Companies are looking for more than a great education and practical experience. They are looking for a multi-dimensional person who can tackle our rapidly evolving world. The goal is not to have a new one pager showing who you are (although that is a great byproduct and could give you a competitive edge) but rather to help you uncover the inner you and find the words to dynamically articulate this with confidence.
You will walk away with:
- A new narrative that reflects a deeper connection to your core values, drivers and experiences
- Coaching and practice on storytelling in a captivating way while networking or interviewing
- The skills to express your narrative based on who you are no matter the circumstance you are in so that you can thoughtfully explain your “why”
- Enhanced listening skills and the ability to ask the right questions
- The ability to pivot your story to make it applicable to every situation
