Careers rarely unfold in a straight line. Whether driven by curiosity, changing priorities, new opportunities, or unexpected challenges, many successful professionals have taken winding paths to reach where they are today.
Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring leaders, including a HBA Luminary, who have successfully navigated career transitions across functions, industries, and roles. Through candid storytelling, they will share how they recognized when it was time for a change, overcame self-doubt, leveraged transferable skills, and turned uncertainty into opportunity.
Adding a unique perspective to the conversation, an HR professional will share insights into how career pivots are viewed by recruiters and hiring managers, what makes candidates stand out, and how to effectively position your experiences and skills when pursuing a new direction.
Whether you feel stuck in your current role, are actively considering a change, or simply want to explore new possibilities for growth, this session will provide practical strategies for building confidence, expanding your network, identifying transferable strengths, and taking intentional steps toward your next opportunity.
You will leave with fresh perspectives, actionable advice, and the reassurance that career growth does not have to follow a predictable roadmap. Sometimes the most rewarding opportunities emerge from the twists, turns, and unexpected detours along the way.
Come be inspired, ask questions, and discover how a "squiggly" career path can lead to meaningful growth, fulfillment, and new possibilities.
