WIB-Capital Region: Sponsor Spotlight Series – Your Worthy Career, June 11, 2024

On June 11, WIB-Capital Region highlighted our chapter sponsor, Your Worthy Career, a career and leadership coaching company for women in pharma and biotech. Founder Melissa Lawrence shared the five mistakes she sees people making when planning their careers. She also shared real case studies of women in the industry who have followed this advice to create the careers they want, from landing new jobs to having roles created for them to receiving promotions. Tips included:

• It’s possible to create your own job description and position.
• You are the only person responsible for your career—don’t rely on others to make your career decisions.
• The best professional development goes beyond your work’s formal training programs. Seek out non-biased training programs, mentors, and associations like WIB to expand your network.
• Consider that your career goals are wrong. Get clear on what you want so your career plan can be effective and aligned with what you really want next.

The event concluded with a robust Q&A session. On July 23, Melissa invites everyone to a brand new virtual training session, Hidden Ways to Get the Career You Want in Pharma/Biotech. Melissa will share insider secrets for getting a new job, getting promoted, or upgrading your current role as a woman in pharma/biotech.
