Embrace Change Structured Networking for Women of Color

This is a free, 90-minute, virtual networking session for women of color, hosted by Embrace Change, a career coaching and training firm for WOC. Scroll down for more info regarding this event.

Embrace Change is an award-winning career coaching and training firm that specializes in working with women of color. It is our singular mission to get all women of color––and people of color––the money, power, and respect that we deserve in the workplace.

The Embrace Change team is an all-BIPOC team of career and executive coaches, with areas of expertise ranging from negotiation to leadership to entrepreneurship. Our clients are breaking barriers across industries, including tech, law, medicine, academia, marketing and communications, government, and the trades. Typical results from coaching with Embrace Change include: more robust leadership, executive, communication, and stakeholder management skills; sharper negotiation skills; stronger confidence, motivation, and productivity; increased clarity on career goals and pathways; and strengthened networking and interviewing skills.

Embrace Change also offers a coaching certification program for POC and a flagship leadership program, the Leadership Accelerator for WOC, which won an Anthem Award in 2023 for its unparalleled success in accelerating the careers of women of color leaders. Graduates have gone on to secure prestigious fellowships (White House, Harvard, Stanford), promotions, raises, speaking opportunities, and admission to top graduate programs (NYU, Berkeley).

WHY DO WE OFFER THESE NETWORKING SESSIONS TO OUR COMMUNITY?

As WOC and POC, we're disproportionately made to feel like we don't know how to network, or that we're bad at networking, and meeting new people in a professional context can feel intimidating.
On top of that, we don't have many spaces where we can connect with each other in a fun, structured way–especially across industry.
So during this structured networking session, we'll have opportunities for you to connect with each other in a stress-free way–and share a few key career strategies and tactics with you as well!

WHAT TO EXPECT

During this networking session:
- we'll have opportunities for you to connect with each other in a structured, stress-free way
- you'll learn a few key career strategies and tactics
- you'll leave feeling more positive, activated, and empowered about networking and connecting with others!
See you there!
