The best career and job security comes from our ability to take control of our own careers. The reality is that most people will have three to seven different careers in their lifetime, and the younger you are the higher that number will be. Even if you like your current career, job market transformation, industry advancements and AI innovations mean that change is inevitable. It’s not if our careers will change, but when and how. We cannot solely rely on our employers, and if we don’t actively manage our own careers, then no one else will do this for us. So, we need to be clear about what we want, be able to anticipate inevitable career and job market changes, put ourselves first then proactively plan and prepare.
In this interactive webinar Melita Long will focus on the ways you can future proof your career, take control of your fate, anticipate changes, and prepare yourself, including how to:

Overview
Diversity at work is the new black. And rightfully so.
Creating a culture of inclusion and belonging however, is easier said than done. Biases, norms and cultural expectations challenge our good intentions and threaten to keep belonging at bay.
Research shows that feeling excluded at work, is accompanied by a 25% drop in productivity, while feeling included creates an 83% increase in motivation. Diversity without Inclusion is just difference waiting to divide and derail us.
Together, we’ll explore a safe way to explore the attitudes and actions that create equality and the daily practices that must be challenged and changed for true belonging to flourish.
Join Anneli in this thought-provoking conversation as she guides us to:
– Understand what really creates exclusion at work (hint: it’s not bad people)
– Explore the part each of us plays in creating inclusion and how we can be better allies and champions for others
– Challenge the norms and narratives that make it professionally and politically risky to learn as we go
Pre Work
No pre-work required.
Goals
To equip leaders and champions to be agents for real change in the diversity, equity and inclusion space.
Skills/Knowledge
Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of the real issues that prevent inclusion and the practical strategies that actually work.

Overview
Have you ever had a terrible feedback experience? If you said yes, you are not alone! Both giving – and receiving – feedback can be stressful and uncomfortable! Usually, it’s because we’ve had a bad experience and it’s continuing to linger. Time to replace those negative experiences with positive ones! We’ll get you seeing feedback as a GIFT – an opportunity to invest in someone else’s growth (and your own!)
In “We need to talk” you’ll learn how to deliver feedback in a way that is truthful AND shows care for the other person. The feedback you share will be kind, timely, behaviour-based, relevant, and actionable. (You’ll also learn how to receive feedback graciously – also a common source of awkwardness for many of us!) And, while you cannot control what another person thinks or how they feel, your approach and intent will create an environment that is steeped in psychological safety. Most importantly, you’ll be able to deliver both positive and constructive feedback with the confidence that you’ve been intentional, clear, and caring, setting up the highest possibility for success.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
1. Understand why and when to use feedback as a tool for growth.
2. Learn the characteristics of effective feedback
3. Apply a simple, effective feedback model for day-to-day use
Pre Work
No pre-work required.
Goals
To understand why and when to use feedback as a tool for growth.
Skills/Knowledge
Participants will leave with an understanding of how to gain confidence in your feedback delivery skills

Do you constantly second guess yourself? Do you worry that you’ve said the wrong thing? Do you ever wonder if other people have that voice in their head?
Self-doubt and second-guessing what you said is something everyone experiences at various points in their career. Are you sick of spending too much time and energy worrying about what other will say or think? Are you sick of feeling that you’re not quite ready, or you need more skills or experience before you apply for that opportunity or promotion? Are you worried there’s something wrong with you and that you’ll never be able to get over the self-doubt, fears and nerves that appear in any high stakes environment?
At Core Confidence, working with thousands of talented, ambitious women just like you, we know that there is nothing wrong with you. In fact what you’re experiencing is much more common than people think – it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how many more qualifications you acquire, just when you want to take that leap or try something new that old familiar voice in your head raises all the reasons why it’s a bad idea. The golden opportunity here is to learn to make friends with your inner critic – to right size that negative talk so it no longer overshadows every decision and action. Because if you don’t believe in yourself no one else will!
Pre Work
No pre-work required.
Goals
To learn how to silence your inner critic, reduce your self-doubt and thrive in your work environment.
