On this Facebook and LinkedIn livestream, Elizabeth talks with career empowerment coach Jo Oogarah about how women can build their confidence and design the careers they want.
Jo outlines the stages of a career change and explains how she helps her clients walk through the process, from choosing a clear vision to goal setting and overcoming obstacles. She explains the importance of understanding your work values and offers ideas for maintaining a healthy balance between your family life and your new career plans. Listen out for Jo’s words of wisdom on boosting your confidence when you’re also looking for a new job.
Even if you’re not looking to make a career change in the immediate future, there’s plenty of helpful advice for you here, as Jo answers questions on how to assert and maintain work/life boundaries when you’re working from home and gives a script that you can use to ask for a pay raise.
At the end of the call, you’ll learn about Jo’s Career Leadership programme, which helps women advance their careers in ways that feel authentic to themselves and their vision.
