About the Event
There’s nothing like a supportive group of women in tech to help you get unblocked.

Whether you’re navigating a tricky job search, preparing for performance reviews, or working through a tough conversation with a coworker, we’ve got you.

Career Office Hours is a space to get advice from a professional career coach, plus support from peers who’ve been there and are happy to share what’s worked for them.

This event is an open discussion, so bring your most pressing career questions or simply come to listen, learn, and support your fellow Tech Ladies. This weekly session has become a key time for our Pro Member community to connect, check in, and both give and receive support.

Sessions are not recorded in order to create a safe space for us to share together in confidence.

Career agency and resilience workshop

If you're a professional worried about layoffs—along with 78% of workers worldwide—this workshop is for you.

You may be:
• In a high-volatility function, company, or industry and craving stability
• Considering a pivot, but concerned about market viability and outlook
• Recovering from layoff(s) and desperate to ensure it doesn’t happen again

Or a layoff might actually sound great, and you want your next chapter to be even better!

While we can’t prevent layoffs, we can learn strategies to increase our agency and build resilience if the worst happens.

In this 1-hour workshop, ICF-certified career coach Grace Fabian will help attendees identify what is in their control and share:
• An overview of today's job market and layoff climate
• How to assess volatility in your function, company, and industry
• Strategies to reduce the likelihood that you'll be affected
• Financial safety net and benefits continuity basics
• How to build your job options now, so you're not starting from zero later
• Mindsets to protect your precious energy and thrive during a challenging time
... and more!

Follow along with Grace’s custom worksheet and leave with concrete actions to feel more prepared and positive.

Target Audience: Whether you’re starting out, navigating a mid-career change, or strategizing for your golden years, this workshop will provide valuable insights to increase your career agency and resilience during a tumultuous time.

Speaker Information: Grace Fabian is the career coach for passionate powerhouses. She’s helped 130+ heart-driven high-achievers cut the cycle of perfectionism and burnout, reconnect to what lights them up, and take aligned risk-smart actions to design careers they love.

With 10+ years of corporate leadership experience spanning nonprofit to tech—and her own values-aligned career pivots, including building this coaching business—Grace knows what it takes to make work work for you.

Grace holds a Cornell psych honors degree, a Brown coaching certification, and an International Coaching Federation credential. She blends research-backed inner work with real-world execution—and a healthy dose of creative play—so action feels energizing, not intimidating.

Join us for a fireside chat with Stacie Kaiser from Stacie Kaiser Coaching!

---

What is a hiring manager looking for in an interview, and how can you make your experience clear and relevant?

Join us for a fireside chat on preparing for the hiring manager round. We’ll discuss how to frame your experience, speak to your impact, and show how you approach leadership and collaboration. We’ll also explore how your answers might differ when you’re speaking with a hiring manager rather than a peer.

Bring your questions. You’ll have the opportunity to submit them in advance to help shape the conversation.

Target Audience:
Job Seekers and Career Changers

Speaker Information:

Skip the Resolutions. Design Your Next Chapter.

A live, guided reflection (not a lecture) where you'll define what excites you, name your real strengths, and decide what you want next in your life and career. So you’ll walk into 2027 with a clear direction instead of a to-do list.

This 90-minute workshop starts with re-discovering who you are, not what you should do.

We'll cover:
A short breathing exercise to ground and open up
Reflecting and journaling with real time to write
Pinpointing what lights you up versus what you've just gotten good at
Naming your strengths in language you'd actually use in an interview, on your LinkedIn, or in the next conversation with your boss

You’ll leave with:
A written snapshot of who you are, what you want, and why
A framework you can revisit every quarter and annually
One tangible next step you can take towards your goals
One clear intention for 2027 across both life and career

Bring:
A notebook or open doc, a quiet 90 minutes, and honest answers.

Target Audience: Women and allies across every corner of tech: engineering, design, product management, marketing, data, program management, and the roles that don't have a tidy title yet. This is for you if: You're mid-career and doing well on paper, but restless about what's next. You're weighing a change and can't tell what you want. You've tried goal-setting apps, vision boards, and January resolutions, but none of it sticks. You're rebuilding after a layoff, a reorg, or a stretch of burnout and want to choose the next move with intention. You're strong at describing your work but terrible at talking about yourself. You're considering entrepreneurship, freelance, or a portfolio career and are ready to get clear on what you actually want.

Speaker Information: Jennifer Anne Garcia is a Career Strategy Coach and founder of Best Resume Coach. She is the author of Best Resume Recipe, ATS-certified, and a longtime guide for successful, high-achieving corporate leaders and tech-adjacent professionals figuring out their next chapter.
