Session Description: Today’s professionals aren’t waiting for the approval of others, nor are we allowing “what we do” day-to-day to define us. It’s interesting how when we are at an event, step on the elevator, run errands, or at the coffee shop, the first thing many people ask us “What do you do?” Wow, that’s pretty loaded because what we may or may not do professionally doesn’t define us. Is this the best question to ask someone? Will my answer and how I answer form your opinion of me? Could this question be considered provocative, intimidating, and unnerving? Isn’t there a different way to start a cordial conversation with someone? I believe there is, so that we will dive deeper into this subject. Participants seeking clarity to mitigate confusion or perplexity will learn practical tools to support them in Living Intentionally and Audaciously. Moreover, they will engage in deep introspection, utilize tools to assess their current state and have an opportunity to craft a statement on how they will occupy and take up their space, albeit with self, team, and in the workspace. The key here is for the statement to align with their core values.
