“When you undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are.” — Oprah Winfrey
In March in Fribourg, OWIT Lake Geneva invites you to an afterwork if your next move is on your mind - new role, promotion, repositioning, or the need to redefine what you will (and won’t) take on.
This is not a workshop or a motivational talk. It’s a guided café conversation with Dr. Rodica Zerguine, guest speaker and Leadership Profiler & Career Strategist, built around one core idea:
Your value is not your strengths.
Your value is the outcome you create, the stakes you protect or move, and the signal others can recognize. And importantly: your value has a cost and needs conditions—otherwise you end up “valuable” by over-stretching yourself.
What you’ll explore:
* Strengths vs Value vs Value Signal
Why being excellent doesn’t automatically translate into being valued.
* The hidden cost of being “reliable”
Where your contribution is currently subsidized by over-responsibility, over-explaining, or invisible work.
* Conditions for your best work
The environments and agreements that make your value visible and sustainable (pace, autonomy, clarity, decision rights, recognition…).
You’ll leave with a Value Anchor you can adapt to your situation.
This afterwork is for you if you:
* are job searching and want a clearer way to explain your value beyond your CV
* are targeting a promotion or bigger scope and want your contribution to be more visible and legible
* are repositioning (new direction, new industry, return to work) and need sharper positioning
* feel you’re seen as “reliable” but your value comes with a hidden tax (over-responsibility, invisible work)
* want to define your conditions and non-negotiables so your next step is sustainable—not just impressive
* prefer a small, structured conversation over a lecture or generic networking
Come join us for a discussion on this relevant topic and to brainstorm with like minded professionals over a drink, to meet old friends and make new ones!
Cost: Just the price of your drink (please settle your tab directly with the bar, as OWIT Lake Geneva is not responsible for bar bills).
