WGCC is pleased to introduce the launch of the Career Transition Forum (CTF), a new initiative designed to support members at pivotal moments in their careers. The Forum’s mandate is:
To support & connect women GCs during their career transitions as they seek re-employment within the legal industry through networking, sharing resources and coaching/guidance.
To mark this launch, we invite you to join us for a practical and insightful Executive Resume Workshop, designed specifically for senior legal professionals navigating career transitions.
This session will provide targeted guidance to help you effectively position your experience and leadership value in today’s competitive market. Whether you are actively exploring new opportunities or preparing for future transitions, this workshop will equip you with the tools to elevate your professional narrative.
Workshop Highlights:
- Executive resume guidance tailored to senior legal roles
- Recruiter and board-level hiring insights
- Strategies for positioning at the GC and CLO level
The session will be led by Martin Buckland, one of the world’s most respected Executive Career Management Practitioners.
