Momentum is hosting Know Your Value: Make the Case for Your Next Move, a half-day hybrid workshop that helps professionals define what skills they bring to their organization and how they can communicate their value with confidence.

One of the hardest parts of annual reviews is knowing what you can communicate to your supervisor—but it doesn’t have to be impossible.

The best part? You walk out with tangible, real-world advice on navigating conversations about responsibility, compensation and your next move.

The workshop will take place on Wednesday, October 28, and will include:

💪 Communicating strengths
✅ Building an accomplishment portfolio
📈 Putting metrics on an individual’s impact
💰 Researching market value
🛣️ Developing a roadmap for advancement

“This isn’t a ‘sit back and listen’ workshop. You’ll leave with a stronger value proposition, a plan for your next career conversation and tools you can use long after performance-review season is over.”

_{April Benetollo, CEO, Momentum Leaders}
