About this Event
🍽️ Boost!
BOOST! Is the table to join if you’re stuck in a professional rut and want to get out.
Led by qualified career coach and owner of Webber Coaching, this Table will give you fresh ideas and insights on how to tackle your new work quest.
Job searching can be a lonely business so this evening will allow you to share and learn from others and we know you will leave BOOSTed up! Yet this Table is not just for those that wish to transform a traditional job search.
NOTE: Founders/freelancers / entrepreneurs can also get stuck in a rut and may need to refresh their pitch to win new clients or land bigger deals. Join this Table to BOOST your story.
Who this is for
You've built real experience, yup decades of it. But somewhere along the way, the market started treating that experience like a liability instead of an asset. Applications go quiet. Recruiters skip past you for someone "more current." It's not that you've lost your edge yet it means we need new ways to make it visible. From Linkedin to Insta, you’d agree these platforms are saturated… So how do you stand-out or even share your expertise and insight?
That’s why these tables are different - and actually work!

What happens and what you'll walk away with...
- Honest conversation about what's actually changed: hiring, AI recruitment bots, remote work and it reality it means for how you position yourself now
- What's working for people at your stage, right now. This is about not generic advice yet real tactics from peers in the same market
- A reframe on experience as an asset — how to talk about decades of judgment and expertise in a market obsessed with "fresh"
- A table, not a lecture. Everyone contributes, no one just listens. We actively ask for equal exchange of deep experience, tips and advice.
- A next step, not just a nice evening, so you can leave with something concrete to try
What to expect
Our community is built on humble, candid, deliberate collaboration. No one at this table is here to perform confidence they don't feel, you'll find people just as unsettled by the market as you are, working through it together instead of pretending they have it figured out.

FAQ
Is this just for people looking for a new job?
No! Some attendees are job-searching, others are consulting, advising, or figuring out what's next after a long career. What matters is you're navigating that transition.
Will this feel like a room of recruiters and pitches?
No! this is a working table, not a job fair. The focus is honest conversation, not selling yourself to a room.
What if I'm not sure what I want next?
That's a normal place to be at this table. Part of the conversation is figuring that out with people who understand the stakes.
