Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending the Metro Builders & Contractors Professional Women in Business event as a guest speaker at the beautiful REDCOM Design & Construction building in Westfield.
Alongside fellow panelists Cat Garruto and Tez Roro, MBA, REALTORÂŽď¸, we discussed our journey with career pivoting, and how it doesnât alway have to mean starting overâŚitâs about leveraging current skills and transferring them into a new role.
Because while change is scary, we are often far more equipped and experienced than we give ourselves credit for.
A special thanks to Julie McKeon at Stilo Disposal and Greg Markowitz at for leading the discussion, and to stilobakes for the delicious spread!
I always love hearing others experience with making a career change, especially mid-life. If youâve been in a similar position, whatâs been the most surprising about making the move?đ
