In her new book, Why Women Pivot: Embracing Transitions Unique to Our Careers, former WIT President, Trish Barber delves into how women can have it all, but they must be both strategic and patient with themselves as they navigate the common challenges that women face. During this workshop, she will focus on two of the topics in her book.

In the first half of the session, she will answer the question of why women are pivoting and discuss long term and short-term implications of not doing so strategically. She also talks about how in these post-COVID times, women have more options and power than they realize. Finally, she will discuss the entrepreneurial trends showing how women are taking control of their careers.

The second half of the session will focus on networking as a key ingredient to a successful pivot. Learn about the differences in networking behaviors between men and women and the strategies to get the most out of your next networking experience.

Participants will leave with special access to the book on Amazon as well as inspiration and tools as you plan your next pivot.
