For a long time, career readiness followed a familiar map: choose a field, get the right training, find the job, build the career.

But what happens when the map keeps changing?

Career paths are becoming less linear, roles are evolving, and AI is accelerating change. For early-career people, that can make the future feel a little like being lost at sea. And for the workforce development professionals supporting them, it raises a bigger question:

If career navigation no longer means following a predictable path, what can it mean in today’s environment?

This 90-minute PopUpThinkTank brings together 25+ participants — those navigating careers, and professionals supporting career and workforce development — to explore that question around one shared challenge.

Together, we’ll consider the anchors that ground us—values, strengths, experiences, relationships, and joy—and the compasses that help us choose a direction when we can’t see the whole journey.

This isn’t a demo, webinar, panel, or pitch.

There’s no pressure to speak in front of the full group. Instead, you’ll connect in smaller conversations, contribute from lived experience, and see how individual perspectives build into collective insight.

We’ll co-create something usable from what emerges, so participants can see their impact on the work.

Come to make meaningful connections, see how insight takes shape across different perspectives, and contribute without the pressure to perform.

Because perhaps career readiness isn’t knowing exactly where you’re going.

It’s becoming better equipped to navigate.

Start with a shared challenge—what we’re here to do.

In just a few minutes, Jenn will help us create a common starting point—context, tension, ideas, and the real challenge at the center of the conversation.

Move through a series of insight rounds.

Through a sequence of fast-paced conversations, you’ll bring your ideas, instincts, and experience into the room—without the pressure of speaking in front of a large audience.

No pressure to speak in front of everyone.

Leave connected and energized. Walk away with fresh insight, new relationships, and a co-created resource shaped by the people in the room.

HOW IT WORKS

What Is the Format?

Every PopUpThinkTank follows a carefully designed rhythm.

Not rigid. Not overproduced. Intentional.

Participants move through a fast-paced sequence of shared context, small-group conversation, reflection, and collaborative thinking — all designed to create momentum without putting people on the spot.

The experience is structured enough to feel safe, but flexible enough for real insight, creativity, and connection to emerge.

Small breakouts, thoughtful prompts, and tight pacing help conversations move quickly past awkwardness and into genuine engagement. People often tell us the same thing afterward:

“I didn’t expect to feel this energized.”

That’s by design.

Momentum for moments that matter.

30+ Thinkers. 90 Minutes. 100s of Ideas & Connections. 1 Shared Challenge.

Experiences that help people, teams, and organizations get ready to solve problems, navigate change, and move meaningful work forward.
