Are you considering a significant career move, working toward a promotion, or thinking about launching your own venture? The Career Advancement Workshop offers a confidential, peer-based setting for candid reflection, practical career planning, and focused feedback from fellow professionals.
Designed for professionals navigating their next stage of growth, this workshop will help participants clarify priorities, examine assumptions, and leave with a more actionable career plan. Participants will begin with a TriMetrix HD leadership assessment facilitated by Berkeley Haas MBA and executive business coach Steve Terusaki that offers insights into What, Why and How we do the things we do.
Then, 2024 LinkedIn Top Voice Jeanel Carlson presents, Own Your Story: Elevate Your LinkedIn Presence with AI, which shows how AI filters evaluate your profile before a human ever calls and the high-ROI adjustments that build trust. Attendees will receive complimentary access to ProfileLift, Jeanel’s AI tool that audits LinkedIn profiles in minutes.
Combined, the workshop delivers more than $500 in value for the cost of registration.
Register by July 6 for early-bird pricing.
Early-bird: $60 Regular: $75 After July 17, 5pm: $75, without the TriMetrix HD assessment
Personal Leadership Profile Evaluation: Before the event, attendees will complete the TriMetrix HD personal leadership profile evaluation. Results will be provided at the workshop and will give each participant a practical foundation for understanding leadership strengths, development areas, and career priorities.
How TriMetrix HD will support your workshop experience: TriMetrix HD will help participants arrive with a clearer view of how they communicate, what motivates them, where they may have natural leadership strengths, and where blind spots or assumptions may be influencing career decisions. During the workshop, those insights will help make the presentation and small-group discussions more personal, concrete, and actionable, so attendees can connect self-awareness to specific next steps in their career plans.
Important Deadline: Attendees must complete the TriMetrix HD evaluation by 5pm on Friday, July 17 so the results can be incorporated into the event. Results will be used in aggregate and anonymously to help inform the workshop content, without identifying individual participants.

Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow Berkeley alumni and industry professionals in a setting designed for substantive conversation rather than surface-level networking.
Past participants described the workshop as a “high-quality event” with “impactful workshop-style activities.” Attendees especially valued the breakout groups, noting that the conversations provided “valuable perspective when considering my career plans.” One participant shared, “I took insights directly into my job search and landed a great new gig—one of the top three BREAA events of the year!”
This year’s workshop builds on that momentum with a sharper emphasis on personal leadership insight, practical career plan development, and peer feedback in an intimate group setting. We also added a featured session on personal branding and AI visibility, giving participants the tools to activate their leadership story on LinkedIn, where opportunities are won.
Join us to clarify your path forward, build meaningful connections, and leave with actionable tools and strategies to support the next phase of your career.
