Charting Your North Star: Lead with Confidence in Uncertain Times

Featured Speaker: Alisia Gill

Uncertainty is everywhere right now, and it can make career decisions feel heavier than they need to. Charting Your North Star is a practical, energizing session designed for women at any career stage who want more clarity, confidence, and momentum in what comes next. Instead of waiting for “perfect certainty,” you’ll focus on building a point of view about your direction and the steps you can take now.

In this conversation, you’ll learn how to define your personal North Star, the values, strengths, and non-negotiables that help you make better choices when priorities shift, roles evolve, or the path ahead feels unclear. You’ll walk away with simple tools you can use immediately, whether you’re exploring a new opportunity, planning your next development move, or looking to expand your visibility and impact.

Key takeaways include:

• A clear definition of your personal North Star (what matters most and why)
• Practical prompts to identify strengths you want to lean into and skills you want to build
• A way to pressure-test options against your non-negotiables
• A short list of actions to create momentum in the next 30 days
• Tips for using networks and sponsorship to move from uncertainty to opportunity

After the session, keep the momentum going at the FWA Committee Fair. This is your chance to learn more about the FWA community, explore the different committees, and find a way to get involved that fits your interests and availability. You’ll meet others across the network, discover where you can contribute, and leave with a clearer path to getting more engaged and owning your career development through community, visibility, and connection.
