    Student Union: The Blackstone LaunchPad
  • Description
    Think about ways to workshop or further engage students with a small activity or specific calls to action/skills to test drive in the future)

    When in the weeds of planning your first career, it can be difficult -- if not nearly impossible -- to imagine your second or third. Whether you've already written your career plan in the stars, or you're still "figuring out what you want to be when you grow up," this session is designed to get you thinking about how to identify and take note of the skills you build throughout your career journey.
    Join Karissa Smith as she shares her own 22-year career journey from retail "fixer" to federal healthcare consultant and, finally, to entrepreneur.

    During this one-hour session, you'll learn how "yes" transforms into opportunities to develop skills you otherwise would never have the chance to encounter, how those skills create opportunities you may not even know you desire, and how to spot and spotlight the unique value you bring to the table.
