Our launch event. Leaders who've made the climb talk honestly about visibility, sponsorship, and the political moves nobody puts in a job description.
This is the launch event for Headshots & Handshakes — a new series on navigating corporate politics, managing difficult people, and the soft skills needed for success. We are currently vetting sponsors who want to reach ambitious mid-career professionals in Chicago and beyond.
If your organization is interested in sponsoring the headshots, the panel, or future events, we'd love to talk. Headshot sponsorship is available two ways: three individual sponsor slots, or one exclusive headshot sponsor.
