“Switching Lanes: Rethink, Retool, Restart”

Changing jobs within a defined field can be tough enough; redirecting one’s entire career is a next-level challenge.  Some skills and sensitivities transfer smoothly, while others require renewal or replacement.  The particulars will vary, but the experience of “crossing over” or “switching lanes” is itself worth unpacking.  Those in the midst of such a fundamental transition, or who are contemplating one, can gather here to swap strategies stories, practices, and perspectives – and to support each other on our journeys into the professional unknown.
