On Wednesday, March 4th, the Emerging Leaders hosted Professional Breakthroughs: Cocktails and Conversations, a successful mashup of our social happy hour and educational speaker series.
We were lucky enough to have Susan Chiancone join us. She didn’t hold back, giving us a deep dive into the realities of career pivots and the importance of confidence and clear communication. It was a great opportunity to learn from her years of experience in a more relaxed, approachable setting.
The rest of the night was spent catching up and making new connections. We are already looking forward to more events like this one where we can level up our careers while supporting the incredible work happening at Breakthrough Public Schools.
