🎨 Tuesday, 5th March 13:00 to 14:00 GMT Lunch and Learn online workshop – Overcoming the Challenges of Returning to the Workplace. In this engaging session, we will dive into the multifaceted journeys that lead individuals to take career breaks—be it for family, health, personal growth, or exploration. This webinar is crafted to address the unique hurdles of re-entering the professional realm, offering insightful strategies for boosting self-confidence, overcoming imposter syndrome, and combating ‘career amnesia’. As part of this comprehensive toolkit, we emphasise the importance of understanding and leveraging your personal brand, which serves as a cornerstone for professional reintegration. Knowing your ‘why’—the driving purpose behind your career choices—fuels your motivation and guides your path. We’ll explore how aligning your actions with your core values and playing to your strengths can significantly enhance your impact and satisfaction in the workplace. Attendees will learn to reclaim their professional identity, set clear goals, and nurture a robust support network, all while preparing for a phased and psychologically sound re-entry into the workplace.
