What career move would you make if fear weren’t standing in your way? 

Join our CA Women’s Network for an inspiring online conversation about courageous career moves, and how to take the next step even when you don’t have everything figured out. 

Our guest speakers will share the pivotal moments that shaped their careers: the risks they took, the doubts they faced and the lessons they learned along the way. 

Together, we’ll explore: 

• Career pivots: embracing change and pursuing a new direction.
• Feeling the fear: finding the confidence to make a move even when it feels daunting.
• Imposter syndrome: challenging self-doubt and recognising your value.
• Future-fit skills: using transferable strengths to unlock new opportunities.
• Lessons learned: what our speakers wish they had known sooner .

Whether you’re actively thinking about your next move, navigating change or simply curious about where your career could take you, join us for honest stories, practical insights and plenty of inspiration.
