Masterclass: Career Crafting - Dare, Prepare, Share with Lena Pejgan Wiberg

Later today @gwendiagram hosts another brilliant Masterclass with @pejgan, on Career Crafting - Dare, Prepare, Share.

They’ll be an excellent set of questions and typically we won’t always get time for them to be answered. However, we’ll add any questions we didn’t get to here for Lena to answer. Plus I’ll share links to all the things shared. :ninja_brown:

And if you’d like to continue the conversation, this thread is an excellent place to do that. Share resources and follow up with success stories from your learnings! :chart_with_upwards_trend:

A recording of the Masterclass will be made available. Look out for it on the Masterclasses Page in the coming days. :movie_camera:
