Bring the Audacity: A Practical Guide to Claiming Your Seat

Join us for a candid conversation with Jennifer Whitson, Senior Service Account Manager at Everpure, on being bold in the workplace even if it doesn’t come naturally. Far from a linear success story, Jennifer shares her evolution from a quiet overachiever who played by the rules to a professional who learned that waiting for recognition leads to stagnation.

With a background spanning the Peace Corps, journalism, and the tech startup world, Jennifer pulls back the curtain on the “secret sauce” she missed for years. She shares real, tactical lessons—from the eye-opening power of salary transparency and the necessity of direct communication to why you should stop waiting for permission and start “channeling your inner Chet.”

This conversation is designed for anyone ready to stop playing small. You’ll walk away with:

  1. The confidence to advocate directly for the promotions and projects you want.

  2. A clearer understanding of how to navigate career pivots and unexpected setbacks.

  3. The inspiration to pull up a chair for yourself and the women around you.

Come ready to be energized and challenged. It’s time to stop waiting for your seat at the table and start asking for it.
