BECD Workshops

A BE Mindset Matters: Strategy + Skills for High-Quality Career Development! While this workshop was virtual over Zoom, that campus is too gorgeous not to spotlight ✨ This is a photo from Naz Weekend 2023, and in February 2024 it was an honor to provide career development support the the diverse + esteemed alumni of Nazareth University. As a proud graduate with my Master’s in Education (MSEd) from Naz, reconnecting with students, fellow alum, and the campus is a joy!

We discussed mindset skills + strategies that support 5 core pillars of career development, including: job search, resume writing, networking, interviewing, + negotiating.

Self-Care + Confidence: Give yourself some credit!!! This workshop was in-person, and if you visit here, here, or here … you can see just how beautiful it was with custom decor, charcuterie, + champagne by the Homemade Events Roc ladies. 💗 We also enjoyed amazing community connections, authentic empowerment, + interactive engagement!

Hear what participants are saying: I had SUCH a lovely time at BE Career Development’s Self Care & Confidence Workshop … We talked about managing to-do & to-done lists, giving yourself credit, and so much more.
