Next Career Chapter | Leiden Meetup

Feeling stuck, unfulfilled or wondering what's next in your career? Join us for an evening of meaningful conversations with professionals who may be asking the very same questions.

## Have you ever caught yourself thinking...

"I know I'm capable of more, but I don't know what."
"My job is okay... but something is missing."
"I keep thinking about making a change, but I don't know where to start."

If any of these thoughts sound familiar, you're not alone.

This isn't a traditional networking event where everyone introduces themselves with their job title and exchanges business cards.

There is no pressure to have all the answers or to be "actively looking." Whether you're simply curious or ready for change, you're welcome exactly as you are.

Instead, we create a welcoming space where people can slow down, reflect, have honest conversations and connect with others who may be asking the very same questions.

Together we'll enjoy a relaxed evening with a simple guided reflection exercise, meaningful conversations in small groups and plenty of time to connect over a drink. You'll leave with fresh insights, new connections and, hopefully, one small step towards your next career chapter.

Whether you're considering a career change, feeling stuck in your current role, returning to work after a break, navigating the Dutch job market, or simply wondering what your next chapter could look like - you are very welcome.

## About your host

Hi, I'm Aneta Kantarowska, founder of Kanta Clarity Coaching.

After more than 17 years working in HR and Investor Relations, I became a career coach because I saw how many talented professionals stay in jobs that no longer fit them—not because they lack ability, but because they lack clarity, confidence or support.

Today I help professionals discover careers that genuinely suit who they are and the life they want to build.

I created Next Career Chapter | Leiden because I believe that one honest conversation can sometimes change the way we see our future.

I'd love to welcome you.

Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you'll be warmly welcomed. Many of our attendees arrive not knowing anyone - and leave having made genuine connections.

### 🌱 You don't need to have everything figured out.

Sometimes clarity doesn't come from thinking harder.
It comes from having the right conversation.

We hope you'll join us.
