Taking Charge of Your Career: Navigating Non‑Linear Paths, Setbacks & Burnout. Thursday, 23 April 2026 – 18:00-20:30Are you wondering what your “North Star” should be in a job market reshaped by rapidly evolving disruptive technologies? Are you feeling stuck in your current role or organization — and unsure how to move forward? Have you lost your position due to restructuring — and don’t know where to start?Career paths rarely follow a straight line. Most leaders experience detours, plateaus, restructurings, missed promotions, and moments of doubt. And in high‑pressure environments, it’s easy to push too hard until you hit burnout — or to misread setbacks as signals that you’ve “failed” rather than inputs to recalibrate.This session will offer a practical, candid discussion on how to: Navigate non‑linear careers without losing momentum — and how to decide when to pivot vs. persevere Cope with setbacks (restructuring, role loss, stalled progression) and rebuild direction and confidence Recognize and prevent burnout: early warning signs, high‑risk patterns, and how to design sustainable performance Clarify your “North Star”: how to define what you’re optimizing for in a market shaped by disruption and AI Scenario‑plan next moves: creating multiple credible “next role” options rather than betting on a single path Find sponsors and allies: what they are, why they matter, and how to identify, earn, and activate them in your organization and network The session will be interactive, practical, and geared toward real decisions — with time for discussion and Q&A. Who Should AttendThis session will be particularly valuable for alumni who: Are reflecting on next career steps or transitions Want to challenge traditional assumptions about career planning and growing in a multinational corporate environment Seek a practical, experience‑based perspective rather than generic career advice   Program 18:00 – Arrival & Apero18:30 -  Welcome note18:35 – Career Session with Mike Cobrough  19:30 – Networking Key FactsWhen: 23 April 2026  6:00 pm - 8.30pmWhere: Novotel Hotel, Rue de Zurich 19, 1201 GenèveTickets: CHF 70 NAA Members (paid-up) // CHF 105 Alumni non-members and guests Max 30 participantsTicketing closes 24h before the event. INSEAD Alumni Association SwitzerlandDoina Cebotari, MBA ‘13J, Event Organizer & Geneva Chapter Committee MemberMayssa Scheib, (MBA ’14J), Geneva Chapter Presidentevents@insead.ch
