Career Pivots & Positioning: How Senior Leaders Get Selected in Today’s Market
Wharton Club of Southern California
03/05/26 @ 12:00 – 1:00 pm PST | Virtual Executive Workshop
Event Overview
For senior leaders navigating a pivot, preparing for their next move, or quietly testing the market, the challenge isn’t experience, it’s positioning.
In today’s hiring environment, strong backgrounds are table stakes. What differentiates candidates is how clearly they articulate their narrative, signal executive-level impact, and show up, on paper, online, and in high-stakes conversations.
You’ll leave with practical frameworks, clearer positioning, and concrete guidance you can apply immediately to your resume, LinkedIn profile, and interview strategy.
