Building Career Momentum: The Small Actions That Create Big Opportunities
HR professionals spend their careers helping others grow, develop, and navigate change—but often devote far less attention to managing their own career momentum. In this interactive session, former biotech HR executive and career strategist Brenda Van Vreeswyk introduces the Career Momentum Flywheel™, a practical framework for creating sustained professional growth through intentional action, visibility, and connection. Participants will explore the three core drivers of career momentum—Direction, Capability, and Visibility—and learn a simple monthly practice that transforms reflection into action. Attendees will leave with a practical framework, new professional connections, and a concrete next step they can implement immediately.
Learning Objectives:
- Assess their current level of career momentum using the Career Momentum Flywheel™ framework.
- Identify opportunities to strengthen professional visibility, relationships, and career growth.
- Develop a personal 30-day action plan to build intentional career momentum.
