Paws & Pivot Series: Show Up & Stand Out — Aligning Your Image with Your Career Goals

The Paws & Pivot series provides a crucial platform for recently laid-off federal workers and other affected professionals to connect, learn, and thrive. Our expert-led sessions will focus on providing practical resources and fostering a community of practice centered on successful career transitions, essential upskilling opportunities, and leveraging available community support.

Hosted by Batul Sadiq, this free, in-person workshop offers a hands-on experience to help participants refine their visual brand. Through guided activities and group discussion, participants will clarify their professional identity, explore how to present themselves with confidence, and develop practical strategies to align their appearance and presence with their career goals.

Space is limited; to guarantee your spot please register here by Friday, August 8th.
