About this Event
Feeling professionally “stuck” is a common plight – imagine missing out on opportunities for growth and advancement simply because you didn't have the right network or the confidence to seek guidance. This not only slows your career trajectory but also impacts your professional fulfillment and personal development.
Introducing the second event in the Wine & Wisdom series – “Blend and Bond,” an innovative professional development event designed to address these exact challenges. This exclusive gathering brings together ambitious folks keen on forging powerful connections that pave the way for career advancement and sustainable success.
You'll engage in structured networking activities that make initiating conversations feel natural and easy, even for those most nervous about speaking to new people. The session will also help you learn the art of approaching potential mentors and sponsors, ensuring you leave with meaningful relationships and actionable strategies to help push your career forward.
To add a unique twist to your professional development experience, your host will also guide you through a wine tasting journey in a relaxed, sensory-rich environment – the perfect backdrop to foster genuine connections and invigorate yourself to reach your goals. Attendees are invited to take their favorite wines home at an exclusive 10% discount. Join us for an evening where every sip and every conversation opens the door to new possibilities!
(Note: This event is offered to marginalized genders including women, women-identifying individuals, and non-binary and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women in the workplace. All industries and levels of experience are welcome!)
