SUMMARY:Candid Convo - August\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:You worked hard\, earned the promotion\, and reached a career milestone you had been striving toward.  So why doesn't it feel the way you expected?\nJoin Professional Women in Construction Chicago Chapter for our next Candid Convo\, Mid-Career Burnout\, hosted by our Gold Sponsor\, Valenti\, and moderated by members of the PWC Chicago DEI Committee. Whether you are currently experiencing burnout\, have navigated it in the past\, or simply want to better support colleagues and employees\, we invite you to join the conversation and share your experiences about the realities of navigating the middle years of a career in AEC. \nMid-career burnout is a growing challenge across the AEC industry\, often affecting professionals at a point when they are balancing increased project responsibilities\, leadership expectations\, mentoring roles\, and personal commitments.  While burnout is commonly associated with long hours\, it can also stem from feeling stretched between competing demands\, carrying invisible responsibilities\, or questioning what the next stage of a career should look like. For many women\, these pressures can be compounded by expectations both inside and outside the workplace\, along with feeling under-recognized. \nTogether\, we'll explore the pressures that can come with increased responsibility\, the disconnect between expectations and reality\, and practical strategies for maintaining fulfillment and avoiding burnout.  Through an open and honest discussion\, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from one another\, gain new perspectives\, and explore ways to find renewed purpose in their careers. \nThis is a PWC Chicago Member-Only event - it is easy to join today! Registration closes 7/29 or when capacity is reached.
