WOM2313. Making Bolder Moves Early in Your Accounting Career

As an early- to mid-career accounting professional, knowing how to move up quickly in the field and get involved in more interesting work can feel daunting. If you are further along in your career, feeling unfulfilled and burnt out can make you feel stuck with no clue what to do next. This is especially true for accountants without public accounting experience, where promotions or strategic lateral moves can be challenging. In this workshop, Valerie Mondesir, CPA and author of _Breaking the Spell: Practical Strategies to Eliminate Overthinking, Embrace Change, and Gain the Confidence to Create a New Future_, discusses how to reframe your thinking and develop an unshakeable internal compass to go after what you want in your career, on your terms.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify how to map out your career path, build out your experience portfolio, and develop connections to secure the positions you want.
• Recognize how to communicate your intentions and get involved in career-shifting projects all while managing expectations.
• Distinguish how to build an internal toolkit to strengthen your confidence and stop overthinking decisions, big and small, in your professional life.
