Career Connections - Hidden Strategies to Future proof your Career

An interactive career-growth networking experience guided by Mamta Ptil, ICF Career & Leadership Coach, last 6 years I’ve coached 3,000+ professionals through career growth and transitions across US and Canada.

Come meet ambitious professionals, exchange ideas, and have real conversations about career growth in an AI-powered world.

This is more than traditional networking. You’ll have opportunities to connect with people outside your usual circle, talk about where you’re headed, and explore the hidden factors that actually shape career growth.

The traditional career playbook is changing. It’s no longer enough to have a strong resume, apply to more jobs, or simply keep up with new technology. Career growth increasingly depends on understanding the hidden strategies behind how opportunities are created, how people build visibility and influence, and how leaders make decisions about talent.

Strategies to Future proof your Career

6:30–7:00 | Open Networking + Q&A
Continue the conversation, exchange contacts, and ask your career questions.

You’ll walk away with how to:

Make better career decisions by using AI as a thinking partner not as a substitute for self-awareness, judgment, or human connection.

Leverage AI strategically to accelerate your career growth, increase your visibility, and work smarter.

Build the human-centric skills AI cannot easily replicate from communication and relationship-building to self-leadership, adaptability, confidence, and influence.

Understand the hidden rules of career growth that often aren’t taught in school or explained in job descriptions.

Identify one shift you can make immediately to become more intentional about your next career move.

This isn’t another resume or job-search workshop. It’s a conversation about how you think, how you show up, how you create opportunities, and how you stay relevant in a rapidly changing world of work.

Come ready to reflect, participate, meet new people, and leave with practical ideas you can put into action.

Professionals who are:

• Thinking about their next career move
• Looking to grow into leadership
• Navigating career change or uncertainty
• Curious about how AI is changing career growth
• Looking to build stronger professional relationships and visibility
• Ready to take a more intentional approach to their career

Your career is too important to outsource entirely to an algorithm. Learn how to use AI to your advantage while strengthening the uniquely human skills that will help you grow, lead, and create opportunities.
