Growing Careers. Strengthening Organizations.

Organizations invest in talented people. I help those professionals understand how to grow, navigate, and position themselves for what comes next.

The Professional Development Series is designed for rising professionals and emerging leaders who have the talent and potential to advance, but may need greater clarity, confidence, access, visibility, and strategy to navigate their careers and the workplace.

This includes early career professionals, first generation professionals, recent graduate hires, emerging leaders, and professionals who have demonstrated their value but may need support positioning themselves for greater opportunity and responsibility.

Led by Dr. Natascha F. Saunders, career coach, educator, speaker, and workforce development expert, each engagement brings together career development research, real world experience, practical strategy, and tools participants can immediately put to work.

THE EXPERIENCE

This is not one size fits all professional development.

Every engagement begins with an understanding of your audience, your organizational goals, and what you want participants to walk away knowing, thinking, or doing differently.

Programs can be delivered virtually or in person and may range from a focused 60 or 90 minute experience to half day, full day, Saturday, or multi session programming.

Depending on the engagement, training may include facilitated discussion, reflection, activities, practical application, workbooks and tools, assessments, career coaching, and follow up resources.

THE OUTCOME

Participants leave better equipped to:

• Understand and communicate their professional value

• Take greater ownership of their career development

• Navigate workplace relationships, power, visibility, and opportunity

• Build meaningful professional relationships and social capital

• Position themselves for growth, advancement, and what comes next

The goal is not simply to leave participants inspired.

The goal is to leave them better prepared to navigate their careers.
