Event details

Making a career pivot is easier said than done—especially if you’ve already been working in the same sort of role or within the same industry for the bulk of your career. Learning new skills and gaining new experiences (which could mean taking a pay cut at first) can feel overwhelming. But making a big move like this could be the best thing you do for your career.

And, if you’re thinking about it, you’re not alone. In fact, more than half of Millennials and Gen Zers (52 percent) are likely to change careers within the year. While we were once warned against job hopping, pivoting careers is becoming a new normal.

At Envois, women in leadership have made career changes of all kinds. They come from various backgrounds. Join us in a discussion with them about how to know when the time is right to make a career pivot—and how to do it successfully.

In this webinar, you’ll learn about:

  • The various reasons people make career changes years down the line

  • Knowing when and why to make a major move in your career

  • How to navigate the pros and cons of making a big career change

  • How to successfully make a career pivot, which can feel stressful or overwhelming


This event will be recorded and posted here following the event. We'll also email the recording directly to everyone who registers. By registering, you agree to share your email and profile information with the participating company.
