In March 2020 we began working with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB Cincinnati) for two workshop sessions: Mapping Career Strategy and Building + Communicating Confidence. As we all know, March 2020 was when the country began to undergo massive shutdowns due to COVID-19, forcing many businesses to begin remote work. As our workshop approached, FHLB was managing a remote workforce for the first time, and could have decided to halt the programming but didn’t.
In making the decision to continue on with virtual programming, FHLB Cincinnati showed their commitment to developing the members of the Women Connected Initiative, especially during trying times. Together in these sessions we focused on building out purposeful career strategies for growth and communicating those plans forward, despite the pandemic and its challenges.
