You’ll use the Climate Personality Test as a reflection tool, then join rounds of small-group conversations to explore different pathways with the speakers. Bring the questions that matter to your situation: how your experience translates, what the work looks like day to day, which gaps you may need to close, and how to explore a move alongside your current career.
