The Power of Voice: A Fireside Chat on Reinvention, Storytelling & Showing Up
Join the Women in Content & Marketing Association (WICMA) for an intimate fireside chat hosted in partnership with The Persistent, featuring founder and Editor-in-Chief Francesca Donner in conversation with cultural expert, author, and advocate Jess Weiner.
Together, Francesca and Jess will explore the evolving relationship between storytelling, identity, leadership, and career growth, and what it means to build a meaningful career in today’s media and marketing landscape. From navigating reinvention and visibility to building your personal brand and embracing nonlinear career paths, this conversation will offer honest reflections and inspiring insights for women shaping the future of content and communications.
Designed for marketers, storytellers, creators, strategists, and leaders across the industry, this session is less about a perfect playbook and more about the conversations that help us grow.
Attendees can expect:
Real-world insights on building a career that evolves alongside your ambitions
A thoughtful conversation about confidence, creativity, and building your personal brand in a changing industry
Connection and inspiration alongside a community of women shaping the future of content and marketing
As a special bonus, attendees will also receive complimentary access to The Persistent.
This event is free and open to all. While anyone can attend live, access to the recording will be available exclusively to WICMA Community members.
