CelebrateHER Enrichment Session #2 Presented by St. Mary's Bank: The Messy Middle-Stuck, Unsure, or Ready for More: What to Do Next

Join us on April 2 at the Portsmouth Women’s City Club for a facilitated discussion titled The Messy Middle. Designed for mid-career professionals, this candid and empowering conversation explores the often-overlooked middle years of a career—when you’re no longer new, but not yet in leadership. Through real talk, lived experience, and audience engagement, the discussion will tackle common frustrations, pivotal decisions, and strategies for advocating for growth, making bold moves, and turning setbacks into stepping stones.
