As we entered the third year of the triple (social, health, economic) pandemic, many of us were taking stock of our lives and careers. If you had pushed pause on addressing obstacles in your career path, making career changes, or advancing your career, it was time to retool and refuel!
We jump-started the day with our morning keynote speaker, Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, as she took us along her own career journey and shared what prompted the pivots on her path to career success. Then five breakout sessions explored topics on change management, career navigation, belongingness and purpose, professional presence, and the dreaded imposter “monster” syndrome.
We were reenergized with success strategist and internationally renowned motivational speaker, Gloria Mayfield Banks, followed by a presentation of the 2022 UMBrella Awards. We closed out the day with Kathy Flaminio, founder and CEO of MoveMindfully, as she returned to the WHM Symposium with a calming and stress-relieving mindfulness workshop.
In partnership with UMB Student Affairs, the UMBrella Group also sponsored a virtual donation drive for the UMB Student Food Insecurity Fund and Pantry to help raise awareness and support for UMB students.
