For our final event in this series for 2022, we are pleased to invite you to take part in a conversation with Christie Hunter-Arscott (Bermuda & Lincoln 2007) on her book ' Begin Boldly: How Women Can Reimagine Risk, Embrage Uncertainty & Launch and Brilliant Career'. Amonst other topics, Christie will discuss the power of risk taking, the importance of courage and the value of feeling uncomfortable.
Learn how to take the right risks for lasting success. Begin Boldly provides a framework for making the kind of bold moves that will get your career off to its best start!
Have you ever shied away from taking a risk? Maybe you didn’t apply for a job because you didn’t meet 100 percent of the requirements or passed up the opportunity to take on a challenging role because you didn’t feel ready.
If you can relate, you are not alone. Despite recognizing the benefits of making bold moves, most women—especially those early in their careers—struggle to harness the power of risk-taking. Begin Boldly changes that.
Christie Hunter Arscott equips readers to intelligently take risks using an actionable model built around three mindsets: a curious mindset, a courageous mindset, and an agile mindset. With a step-by-step method for taking risks, assessing rewards, and refining approaches, she gives women a flexible and repeatable framework to help them develop this critical career skill.
Begin Boldly inspires women to take chances on themselves and turns risk-taking into an enlightening and empowering antidote for self-doubt. As Christie reminds us, the biggest risk for women is not taking any risks at all.
