Career Crossroads Circle – After-Hours Networking
A guided reflective networking experience designed for professionals who are thinking about what’s next, and want space to explore it with more clarity and intention.
You don’t need to be in a crisis to feel at a crossroads.
Sometimes it’s more suble than that.
A sense that something has shifted.
A question you can’t quite answer.
A feeling that you may no longer fully fit.
Career Crossroads Circle offers a different kind of space, one where you can pause, reflect, and explore what’s next through meaningful conversation.
Without pressure to have everything figured out.
Career Crossroads Circle
7-8 PM CST on the First Tuesday!
Next Session: April 7, 2026, 7 PM CST
Strategic Networking!
At Mindful Job Alignment, career decisions are approached through these three essential lenses:
Body, Mind, Spirit: How your work feels and what that experience is telling you.
Professional Branding: Resumes, LinkedIn, Networking, and Communication.
The Uncontrollables: Market Conditions, timing, and external factors.
Clarity doesn’t come from focusing on just one: it comes from understanding how all three interact.
