Thrive in the AI Era: Step Forward, Not Aside

AI is reshaping careers, and with it, raising difficult questions: Is my experience still relevant? How do I keep up? Is there still a place for me?

This talk invites women to meet those questions with curiosity and agency rather than self-doubt. Instead of treating the AI era as a reason to step back, we will explore how to build on existing strengths, develop practical AI confidence, and make intentional choices about what comes next.

This is not a call to do more at any cost or to stay in a role that no longer fits. It is an invitation to shape your next chapter on your own terms, rather than letting uncertainty write it for you.

Takeaways:

• A strengths-first career lens: Identify the expertise, judgment, and perspective you want to carry into your next chapter
• Choose one concrete step toward a career you want, whether that means growing in place, pursuing leadership, or making an intentional pivot

We will meet in the Community Room at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Library.
