Oakland PMI Virtual Roundtable
To start, Katie will walk you through her career journey going from sales in big tech to starting her own consulting business.
She will then teach you why "sales" is not a dirty word but a skill that can be learned and practiced.
She will also show you how sales principles can be applied across departments and drive personal career growth.
Finally, Katie will touch on finding your voice and articulating your areas of expertise, building your network with intention, and selling your vision.
The goal of this session is for participants to walk away feeling more empowered to sell themselves and their ideas authentically, whether that's in their career search, or their current role.
