Need A Profesh Refresh? We've Got You!
DATE CHANGE: We have moved Profresh Refresh to March 2 due to circumstances outside of our control. We hope this shift works well with your busy schedule, and we look forward to seeing you there!
It’s here! Our first big event of 2023! If your new years resolutions or professional goals relate to ANY of the items below, you’re going to want to be in the room for this one!
Make a career change
Rejoin the workforce
Refresh my personal brand
Pursue the promotion
Engage with new people
Update my wardrobe
If we want to achieve big things this year, we need to put our best foot forward. Unfortunately, we let our resumes get stale. We forget how to put on makeup in a pandemic. [GUILTY!] We rarely audit our LinkedIn profile. Our professional wardrobe budget gets rerouted to kid sports attire. And the list goes on.
But these things matter. Your career matters. You matter.
While we wholeheartedly believe beauty comes from the inside, we’re also aware that first impressions do not. And, if we want to pursue career progress, we must also consider professional perception.
That’s why we’re partnering with Blush Cowork to co-host an event to refresh (or craft anew!) your own professional brand! We’ve asked the most AMAZING women to lead this interactive event that mixes the best elements of a ladies night - wine, fun and friends - with the most engaging parts of professional development - gifted speakers, workshop style content and actionable takeaways. We’re calling it a Profresh Refresh - because its fun, and because we can.
It’s going to be SO FUN! And, SO USEFUL! Two birds, one stone, friends! So, we’ll bring the wine. You bring a friend to sip it with.
We’re pasting speaker bios below, and you can learn more on the events page. Registration is officially open, and these tickets will go FAST. So grab a friend, grab some tickets, and we’ll see you there!
Here’s a bit more about our speaker lineup and the topics we’re addressing:
