Could we BE anymore excited? If you’re a young professional, we have something fun for you! Join us to explore the great career PIVOT. You know, that strange time in your career where you can’t decide if you should jump ship, start your own business, or stay the course. If you’re 40 & under and feeling stuck wondering how you can possibly start your own business, get promoted or completely switch careers, this event is for you.

Join us on April 24th at the Corner of Wake Forest for a PIVOT panel, inspired by Friends. We will hear from professionals who have undergone this pivot and made it to the other side. Step back in time with us at our own Central Perk for coffee and breakfast as we get to know each other. It’s time to PIVOT! Click the link in our comments to reserve your spot today!
