Master Your Professional Story: The "Tell Me About Yourself" Formula featuring Becky Farone J90

Описание: Master Your Professional Story: The "Tell Me About Yourself" Formula That Opens Doors, an Interactive Webinar for Tufts Alumni featuring Becky Farone, Certified Career Resilience Coach (ICF ACC) & Founder of Fireworks Coaching

Stop stumbling through "Tell me about yourself." Start commanding every conversation.

Whether you're networking, interviewing, or pursuing leadership roles, this one question can make or break professional opportunities. Most accomplished professionals—even Tufts alumni—either ramble through their resume or undersell their achievements. Learn two proven frameworks that transform rambling into compelling storytelling, with real examples from diverse career paths: scientists moving to industry, educators entering administration, healthcare professionals pursuing leadership, and tech experts pivoting to product management.

You'll master:
• Audience-first strategies for any professional setting
• Live practice with real-time feedback
• Authentic, adaptable approaches that work from alumni mixers to C-suite meetings

Perfect for alumni who are: interviewing, networking strategically, transitioning careers, or simply tired of feeling unprepared in professional conversations. Your Tufts education opened doors—now let your story keep them open.

Your facilitator:

Becky Farone is a certified career resilience coach, J'90 and former tech leader who has guided dozens through successful career transitions. Growing up in unconventional Vermont with a defiant "why can't a girl do that?" Becky Farone turned that childhood declaration into a 30-year tech career. From her early days on Microsoft's original Outlook team to leadership roles at Nike, Starbucks HQ, and Columbia Sportswear, she consistently broke barriers in male-dominated spaces. A Tufts graduate who combined Art History and American Studies with a later master's in information design from Carnegie Mellon, Becky brings a uniquely interdisciplinary lens to her work. Becky is also an adjunct career advisor at MIT Sloan School of Business.

Today, as founder of Fireworks Coaching and an adjunct career advisor at MIT Sloan, she helps professional women transform their careers with the same determination that fueled her own journey. Drawing from both her extensive industry experience and coaching certification from the International Coaching Federation, Becky shares practical strategies for amplifying your voice and claiming your space in any professional environment.
