Spencer Campbell Talent & Contempus Leadership present…
The Impact Careers Weekend
Lyon, France — February 21-24, 2025 — All-Inclusive
Arrive with your Burning career Question.
Depart with your path forward.
What’s Your
Burning QUestion?
Too many of us distract ourselves from confronting our most pressing career challenge head-on.
This indecision keeps us stuck in the same old patterns, standing in the way of the lives we want to live and the impact we want to make in the world.
The Impact Careers Weekend is a rare opportunity for social sector professionals to give your biggest career decision the full focus it deserves.
Do I have a future at my current organization or should I start polishing my resume?
Am I ready for the C-suite?
Is now the time to start that social enterprise I’ve been dreaming of?
How do I want to show up as a leader this year?
What does it look like to come back after a career break?
I know I need to make a change, but to what?
How can I transition into the social sector?
I’ve accomplished everything I wanted, now what?

You’ve dedicated your talents to making a positive difference. You’re damn good at what you do and are strategizing about what’s next.
