    Repurpose Your Career

    Riddle me this: An art college admissions rep, a museum volunteer coordinator and a strategic planning facilitator walked into a bar. How many drinks did the bartender pour? The answer is one because they are all the same person. In her career, Robin Thorstenson has held 20 positions with 13 different employers in 6 different industries, ranging from nonprofits to healthcare to manufacturing. She’s mastered the art of repurposing her career and is ready to share the steps leading to a successful reinvention. If you’re considering a pivot, still deciding what you want to be when you grow up or planning an encore, this session will help you find the path to a place where you’ll thrive.

    Session Objectives:

    •             Share that repurposing is not damaging to success and a growing trend

    •             Share the one question that will identify a new career

    •             Provide strategies to bridge gaps in qualifications or skills necessary for new career

    •             Share how to translate transferable skills for prospective employers

    •             Highlight how networks provide momentum in the career change
