Whether you are just starting out in marketing insights and analytics or you have been in the workforce for 20+ years, certain career skills remain vital to your success. What are tried and true strategies? What are specific steps you can take to catalyze change?
The ARF’s Women in Analytics Group is pleased to host a mentoring workshop on July 30. Insights and analytics leaders from finance, pharma, media and research providers will share their trove of knowledge and experience. Hear how they built and honed their career skills – which include embracing change, leadership, communicating – and how they dealt with (and conquered) barriers along the way.
Following the presentations, take part in one of the small group discussions moderated by the presenters. Deepen your knowledge, meet new people and plan your next career steps.
