For June's skillshare we will be hearing from Mia Scharpie. Please note that this skillshare is for women & femme-identifying people only.
We need growth, challenge and a path to move forward in our careers and feel creative, impactful and satisfied. In this session you’ll learn about some of the common reasons women's career growth and can slow down and what you can do to speed it up again. You’ll learn specific strategies—from real women—that you can implement in your day-to-day to help you get your career back to being dynamic and forward-moving.
