What Alli speaks about.
Redefining Success
Ideal for Women in Tech conferences, university events, ERG programs, career development workshops
What does it mean to rebuild a career, and an identity, from scratch? This talk explores the emotional and professional reality of starting over, drawing from Alli’s personal experience transitioning from a decade in healthcare as a Physician Assistant to software engineering. Through candid storytelling, the session examines imposter syndrome, non-linear career paths, and what it actually takes to navigate technology spaces where women remain underrepresented.
→ A reframe of imposter syndrome as a signal, not a stop sign → Practical strategies for self-advocacy and resilience in career transitions → A more flexible, values-driven framework for defining career success → Permission, and a roadmap, to pursue the non-linear path
