Online Workshop THIS WEDNESDAY | Clarity is Your Competitive Advantage: Using Self-Awareness & AI for Career Growth

AI can write your résumé, but it cannot tell your story — that is your job.

Right now, many professionals are facing a professional identity crisis. In a world of layoffs, AI disruption, and career pivots, people feel unclear about what makes them valuable. They need language to position themselves confidently in interviews, networking, and promotions — and this session delivers exactly that.

We Came to Shine
We Came to Shine

I couldn’t have asked for a better group to share this experience with. The Begin Development team showed up with care, curiosity, humor, and grace — truly embodying what character and integrity look like in motion.

Each of them was handpicked because of the deep admiration I have for their talent, generosity, and spirit. They led with heart and excellence in every interaction, because the best kind of success is always shared. Watching them champion one another (and me) throughout the weekend was one of my favorite moments at Shine Away.
