Standing Out, Speaking Up: Self-Advocacy Strategies for Your Career

Start your morning with free breakfast, meaningful networking, and an inspiring speaker session at UVU’s Business Impact DEN. Each event features real-world insights and practical tools to help you grow personally and professionally in a supportive, engaging environment.

Info: Speaking up for yourself in the workplace can feel uncomfortable, especially when you're unsure how to begin or worried about how you'll be perceived. In this inspiring and practical session, Heather Nemelka will share real-world examples and relatable stories to empower professionals at every stage—from students launching their careers to experienced managers—to take ownership of their growth.
Heather will introduce her R.I.S.E. framework: Recognize Your Value, Initiate Conversations, Seek Support, and Exceed Expectations. This simple, actionable strategy will help you build confidence, engage in meaningful conversations, and advocate for your development while contributing positively to your team and organization. Join us to learn how to lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
