A new year has a funny way of making us ask ourselves:

Am I still where I want to be?

Maybe you love your work but know you're ready for something more. Maybe you're contemplating a career change, returning to the workforce, searching for greater purpose, or staring at a blank page thinking, I know I want something different—I just don't know what.

This is an evening for you.

Join Shannon Seaver of Shannon Seaver Career Coaching for an inspiring and practical conversation about starting the new year with greater clarity and intention around your professional life.

Shannon has spent more than 20 years helping people navigate their careers, with experience spanning nonprofit organizations, public and private higher education, career-center leadership, and educational technology. Today, she works with everyone from students and early-career professionals to seasoned professionals contemplating a change.

And one of the ideas at the heart of her approach is particularly fitting for a new year:

Your career doesn't have to follow a perfectly straight line.

Shannon is a Certified Designing Your Life Coach, bringing principles of design thinking into career development—the idea that rather than waiting to discover the one "right" answer, we can become more intentional about exploring possibilities and designing what might come next.

During our conversation, we'll explore:

• 💡 How to figure out what you actually want from your next professional chapter

• 🧭 What to do when you know you're ready for change—but have no idea what that change should be

• 🔄 Why changing direction doesn't mean starting over

• 🧰 How skills and experiences from seemingly unrelated jobs can become assets in a new career

• 🎯 Turning vague New Year's career resolutions into realistic goals and next steps

• 🪞 Identifying your strengths, values, interests, and priorities

• 🚪 Exploring possibilities before making a major career leap

• 🤝 The importance of relationships, networking, mentorship, and asking for help

• ✨ How design-thinking principles can help us approach our careers with curiosity rather than fear

• ❓ Plenty of audience Q&A with a career coach

Shannon's work is grounded in something many of us need to hear—particularly when we're contemplating change:

Career paths aren't linear.

So whether you're 22 or 62, actively job hunting, happily employed but curious about what's next, returning to work after time away, dreaming about an entirely different career, or simply wondering whether your professional life still fits the person you've become, come join us.

Have a glass of wine. Grab something delicious from Babi's Kafana. Bring your questions.

And instead of beginning another year by promising yourself that someday you'll figure out what's next...

Maybe 2027 is the year you start designing it. ✨
