SUMMARY:Science Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Own the Shift: From Concept to Reality in Business and Career” \nIn today’s environment\, career paths and businesses are no longer linear: they are shaped through intentional pivots\, experimentation\, and ownership. This session explores how women in organizations and in business can move from idea to execution while simultaneously redefining their professional identity. Through a short speech and guided discussion\, participants will reflect on what it truly takes to “own the shift” and turn uncertainty into momentum. \nThe session will be facilitated by Anastasia Mizitova\, SCP\, PCC\, CEO of Talent14\, global speaker\, and author of Your Career Your Way. She has built and leads global business initiatives\, serves as SHRM faculty\, and previously served on the SHRM Board at HRVA. Anastasia is also an executive coach with Blanchard\, bringing a practical\, real-world perspective on career growth\, leadership\, and transformation. \nQuestions for discussion: \n– What shift are you currently navigating in your career or business — and what makes it challenging to fully own it? \n– Think of a time when you successfully moved an idea forward. What specifically helped you turn that concept into action? \n– Who are the 2–3 types of people or connections that make the biggest difference when bringing an idea to life? \n– How do you know when it’s time to pivot your business idea?
