Tonight, we’re finally getting together for Secure the Conversation™.

If you’ve spent the last few weeks reading these posts and thinking about your own career, I hope you’ll join me. We’re going to spend an hour looking at how your experience is being understood, what may be getting lost before the right conversations happen, and what you can begin changing.

You don’t need to have your next move completely figured out. Bring the opportunity you’re thinking about, the questions you’ve been carrying, and something to take notes with.

We start at 7:00 p.m. Eastern, and there’s still time to register.
Save your seat and join me tonight. Leave a comment or send me the message and I'll send you the link to join us.

We're meeting tomorrow.

If you've been following along and recognizing pieces of your own career in what I've been sharing, I'd love for you to join me for Secure the Conversation™.

Maybe you're ready for a promotion. Maybe you're considering an internal or external move. Maybe you can't quite name the next role yet, but you know your experience should be creating more opportunities than you're currently seeing.

Come as you are.

We'll spend an hour looking at how your experience is being understood, what may be getting lost before the right conversations happen, and where you can make intentional changes.

I want you to leave with a clearer picture of how you're currently positioned and what you can work on next.

Being good at what you do doesn't guarantee that everyone else understands the full value of your experience. And when you're several years into your career, there can be a lot for someone else to understand.

You've grown beyond the bullet points on an old resume. Your responsibilities have changed. You've learned how to handle situations that used to feel difficult. You've developed judgment and perspective that came from actually doing the work.

The question now is whether you're communicating all of that in a way that makes sense for the opportunity you want next.

If there's a gap, we can work on closing it.

That's what Secure the Conversation™ is about. I want to help you see your experience the way a decision-maker might see it, recognize what's getting lost, and leave knowing where you can start making changes.

We're meeting in two days, and I'd love for you to be part of it.

You know how much easier it would be if you could just sit down with the right person and explain what you bring.

But before that conversation ever happens, they may already have looked at your LinkedIn profile, read your resume, heard your name from a colleague, or formed an impression based on how you've described your work.

You want those pieces to give them a clear reason to keep the conversation going.

That's where positioning comes in.

During Secure the Conversation™, we'll look at how your experience is coming across before you have the opportunity to explain it yourself. You'll learn where your message may be unclear and how to help people better understand the value you bring and where you're ready to contribute next.

We're meeting this Thursday, and there's still time to join us.

If you’ve been seeing me talk about Secure the Conversation™ and thinking, “I should probably sign up for that,” this is your reminder to do it.

We’re meeting this Thursday.

I created this workshop for experienced professionals who know they’re capable of more, but aren’t seeing that experience turn into the conversations and opportunities they expected.

During our hour together, we’ll look at what may be getting lost in the way you’re presenting your experience, how people are forming an impression of your value before you ever speak with them, and what you can begin changing now.

My goal is for you to leave with a much clearer understanding of what may be standing between “I know I can do this” and having the right people recognize it too.

If that’s a gap you’ve been feeling in your career, come join me Thursday.

You’ve worked hard to build a career you can be proud of. So when the opportunities don’t seem to match the experience you bring, it can be frustrating.

Sometimes the missing piece is clarity.

Can someone quickly understand what you’re great at? Can they see how your experience applies to the role you want next? Does the way you talk about your work reflect the level you’re operating at today?

Those are things we can work on.

During Secure the Conversation™, I’m going to help you take a closer look at how your experience is coming across and where you can strengthen the connection between what you’ve already accomplished and what you’re ready to do next.

You don’t need to wait until an opportunity is sitting in front of you to figure out how to talk about your value. Come work on it with me.

You have the experience and you KNOW you can do the work.

But if that value isn’t translating into conversations and opportunities, something in the positioning may need to change.

On October 8, I’m hosting ‘Secure the Conversation’, a free live positioning session about what’s changed, what may be getting in the way, and how to communicate your value more clearly in today’s market.

If this sounds like what you need, join me. Learn more details and register using the link 🔗 in the comments!

Feel free to bring a friend and share with your network or someone who may really needs to get unstuck.

Me yesterday. It’s been a while, but I’m making my way back out there! Relationship-building (dare I say “networking”) is a long-term game, but if you don’t show up you could be missing out on great connections and contacts and someone who needs what you offer and requires your presence misses out.
