Demystifying Career Advancement by Alli Young, Founder/CEO of the Forem

In Alli's signature keynote/workshop, "Demystifying Career Advancement," attendees walk away inspired to own their career development and finally know how. Alli shares what she learned during her 20-year career in technology and year-long study of career advancement. She breaks down the five skills we all need to advance and explores how these skills can be incorporated into new behaviors. Attendees leave with new strategies to think about how to navigate their career, two methods of self-advocating ("Always On" and "The Big Ask"), and best practices for making sure they get recognized for their great work and seen for their impact.

• OUR SPEAKER *

After a successful 20-year career in technology, Alli founded
The Forem to unlock opportunities for women across disruptive
brands and Fortune 1000 organizations. As CEO, Alli oversees all
aspects of The Forem, including corporate training and Executive
Coaching.

In her last role, Alli led Americas at Turn, a tech company in the
middle of a challenging transition and exit. In her most prominent
role, Alli led various sales teams over an 11-year tenure at Google,
where she focused on strategic partnerships and aligning
customer goals with emerging tech solutions, including the
development of a global programmatic strategy which drove
several billion in revenue. Alli began her career at Yahoo! and
went on to lead creative and marketing strategy at both Deutsch
and Mediacom.

Throughout Alli’s career, she noticed a pattern — there are unwritten rules that men and corporations have been using for decades that women have not implemented due to lack of exposure and sponsorship, among other things.

Alli spent a year researching career advancement and launched a new curriculum that unlocks upward mobility for women, called the 5 Critical Skills. These skills are not gender specific, but they are often underutilized by women, and they are critical to navigating leadership within corporate culture. Alli’s unique curriculum is based on her experience at Google and can reach a wide audience via her platform at The Forem. These skills apply to young women starting their careers,
all the way up to CEOs seeking board seats. Alli’s personal mission is to move 1M women into leadership by 2030.
