Poppy Candid is all about the conversations ABOUT work that we can't always have AT work. On Oct 28, we're talking about the hard stuff.
About this Event

Poppy Candid is an event series for the conversations about work that we can't always have at work. On October 28th, we're back with an unflinchingly honest conversation that will resonate with anyone who's ever been a human being navigating a career.

________________________________________

Life doesn’t pause when the hard stuff hits — and neither does work. How do you lead when you’re running on fumes? Show up to a meeting when your heart’s somewhere else? Balance doctor’s appointments with deadlines, caregiving with a more-than-9-to-5, or grief with growth?

At this Poppy Candid, we’re getting real about navigating professional demands while dealing with personal challenges – from grief to health crises to caregiving and heartbreak. Our speakers bring lived experience, hard-won tools and refreshing candor. And we’ll open the floor because the best insights often come from the people who’ve been there, too. 

Join us October 28 for a night of connection, courage, and reminders that none of us are carrying the hard stuff alone.
