Breakout SessionsBreak Out Session 1
Merging Your Personal and Professional Passion with Elisa Torres
Do you find yourself feeling like you’re wasting your life away at your job? This is one of the most common complaints I hear from mentees. What if you transformed the way you viewed your career and instead of feeling like you needed to abandon it, you found a way to merge your true passion with your everyday work?
Join Elisa for a break out session where you will self-reflect, clarify your goals, and uncover how to find more fulfillment in your work. This session is ideal for individuals at various life stages, from recent graduates seeking direction to seasoned professionals looking to infuse more meaning into their careers and lives. Whether you’re undergoing a transition, feeling unfulfilled, or simply curious about your purpose, this session offers valuable insights and actionable steps.

The overall goal of this workshop will be to challenge and, ultimately, disrupt the stifling impostor syndrome narrative by gaining clarity on the innate leadership traits already possessed by attendees. This will be achieved through individual and collective work throughout the workshop.
