Why NOW is the Time to Prioritize Professional Development – Webinar

It’s the right conversation at the right time. Join #GirlsClub Founder, LB, and her crew of awesome experts for an incredibly important discussion about “Why NOW is the Time to Prioritize Professional Development.” We’ll discuss why and how both employees and employers can get started with professional development. Hey, the employment landscape is shifting, and if you don’t get ahead now you’ll be very behind.

You’ll hear from leaders at some of the most employee-centric organizations on how they are supporting employees to better themselves, AND from women who’ve invested the time (and how they did it!)

During this panel discussion, you’ll hear:

  • What employees expect
  • Why we have to address this issue NOW (“The Great Resignation”)
  • How much time and money do we spend?
  • Low cost/no cost ways to develop (mentoring, book clubs, job shadowing)
  • Making room to invest in yourself (and is it worth it?)
  • Questions to ask to find employers who will invest in you
  • How to ask your company for the support you aren’t getting
  • Best practices for outsourcing development to move faster

This webinar is perfect for:

  • HR/hiring managers struggling to recruit talent in a job seekers market
  • Leaders trying to retain and promote employees
  • Individual contributors hoping to get into management
  • Anyone trying to level-up their career
  • Enablement and training leaders trying to do more, faster
  • CEOs who’ve never budgeted to train employees before
  • YOU, who isn’t making time to grow your own career

Whether you’re looking for a development-minded employer or you’re trying to do better attracting and retaining talent, it’s the right workshop at the right time. Join us!
