Reset & Reframe:
Shedding Past Job Trauma for a Fresh Start

Tuesday, November 3, 2026

12:00pm-1:30pm EDT

Starting a new job should feel like a clean slate. But if you've left a toxic workplace or a difficult manager behind, you might find old habits sneaking into your new role:

• Over-explaining simple decisions because you used to be micromanaged
• Feeling a spike of panic every time a manager says "got a minute?" 
• Working late into the night just to feel "safe"

These aren't poor work habits, they are survival tactics. And carrying them into a healthy environment can hold you back from actually enjoying your fresh start.

Join us for Reset & Reframe: Shedding Past Job Trauma for a Fresh Start, an interactive virtual workshop designed to help you unlearn past defenses, recalibrate your professional trust, and step into your new role with confidence.
