Includes WITI Welcome Reception on Monday, Jan. 27 | 6 – 7 p.m.
This full-day workshop focuses on overcoming self-doubt and cultivating your confidence. We’ll begin by addressing common barriers such as imposter syndrome and perfectionism, providing you with strategies to silence your inner critic and take bold steps in your career. You’ll have the opportunity to pause and create a clear vision of what you want while aligning it with your values to reduce stress.
Building a supportive community is essential, and we’ll explore the key relationships you need to thrive in your professional journey. As we dive into skill-building activities, you’ll identify gaps and create growth plans. In the afternoon, we’ll enhance your interpersonal communication skills, navigate difficult conversations and develop emotional intelligence — all crucial for career advancement. You’ll leave with a personalized communication and relationship-building plan, equipping you with the tools to implement your new skills.
