Planning Your Next Move as a Biopharma Communications Leader


Hi!

We as communicators spend a lot of time helping organizations and executives articulate their value, navigate change, and tell their stories.

Giving our own careers that same attention can be -- and frankly, usually is -- a lot harder. Without getting too philosophical here... you may be ready for more responsibility, questioning what you want from your work, or figuring out your next move after a layoff. Even with years of experience, it can be difficult to connect what you’ve accomplished with where you want to go next.

Our final T2B Masterclass of the year brings together a recruiter and three leadership coaches to help you think through that next step (even if you're not sure when that will be or what it could look like), communicate the value you bring, and approach career decisions with greater confidence.

Q4 Masterclass: Owning Your Career Story in Today's Job Market

📅 Thursday, December 3rd @ 12-1 p.m. ET / 9-10 a.m. PT / 5-6 p.m. GMT
📍 Zoom
>>Register here.

These sessions are typically free and exclusive to T2B Pro and Student members. But especially given the nature of this session's topic, if you are in a period of transition and unable to become a Pro member at the moment, please reach out to me.

We’ll begin with Scott White, Founder + Executive Recruiter at Scott White Search and T2B ad board member, on what organizations look for in senior comms leaders, how AI is shaping resume reviews, and how to explain your impact beyond a list of responsibilities.

Then, three leadership coaches with biopharma experience will lead an informal discussion on the personal side of career decisions, including professional identity, confidence, and the relationships that help you see new possibilities:

  • Deb Becker, PCC, Executive & Leadership Coach, Becker Leadership Impact
  • Carly Goldsmith, PCC, Owner, Leadership Coach & Facilitator, Carly Goldsmith Coaching
  • Kim Meninger, PCC, Leadership Coach & Consultant

What we’ll discuss:

  • How to think about your professional identity beyond your current title or company, and what that means for your next step.
  • How to explain your value through the business outcomes and decisions your counsel has shaped.
  • Ways to maintain confidence through uncertainty, a layoff, or a prolonged search.
  • How to build relationships that help you understand where your experience can make a difference.
  • What senior candidates should know about AI resume screening and demonstrating their own experience with AI.

You can submit questions anonymously ahead of time or during the session.

You don’t need to have your next move mapped out to join us. That's actually the point. As we head into all the hustle and bustle of year-end activities, this is meant to be a dedicated, 60-minute timeout to give your own career some attention and consider what you want to do next.
