Advancing your career in times of change

CONNECT@ADVANCE Webinar together with Wies Bratby
Excerpts from the webinar of May 19, 2020

Through an interview and a Q&A session, Wies Bratby shared how she has made changes for the better in her career despite challenging circumstances: moving abroad to follow the career of her husband, getting seriously sick and embarking on an entrepreneurial adventure despite a lack of previous experience. Wies talked about the importance of seeing an opportunity in any situation, aiming high and mastering the skill of handling crucial conversations and negotiations in order to take your career where you want it to be.

The importance of seeing an opportunity in every situation

In this webinar we were all inspired from Wies Bratby’s career. Wies is the Founder and Chief Enthusiasm Officer of Women In Negotiation. She answered to the most pressing questions on our minds, such as how are we supposed to juggle work, home and home schooling and potentially look for a new job? Can we still ask for a raise or a promotion if people around us are being let go or furloughed? What are the top 3 tips for negotiating a career? Find some of the key learnings here.
