Save Your Seat!
Who this is for:
This webinar is for midlife professionals who are:
-
Trying to advance and want better projects, visibility, or a stronger seat at the table
-
Transitioning into a new field and need a smarter way in than cold applying on job boards
-
Navigating job loss and want traction fast, without spiraling
-
Exploring entrepreneurship and want clients, collaborators, and warm pathways, not random hustle
-
Tired of feeling invisible online and ready to move with strategy
NOTE: If you want a shortcut without doing any outreach or having any conversations, this won’t be the right fit. This is for discerning people who are ready to take focused action.
What you'll learn:
This is a live, step-by-step webinar where I’ll walk you through my Hidden Opportunity Toolkit, and show you how to use your network to create career momentum without feeling salesy, awkward, or desperate.
If you are a smart, experienced professional and job boards are giving you nothing but silence, it’s not because you “don’t have what it takes.”
It’s because most online applications are designed to filter people out, not recognize experience, nuance, or transferable skills.
This webinar gives you a different path: a clean, repeatable strategy to create access, conversations, introductions, and opportunities through relationships.
When you sign up, you’ll receive:
- The Hidden Opportunity Toolkit (downloadable guide; see picture below)
- A 7-day action plan you can start immediately
- Discovery call questions and DM scripts (copy, paste, personalize)
- A clear path to the next step if you want deeper support
Why listen to me?
I’m Dr. Akilah Willery, and I work with midlife professionals who want to stay competitive and confident in today’s hiring landscape.
My approach is direct, practical, and rooted in what actually moves the needle: clarity, relationships, proof of value, and repeatable strategy.
I’m also the host of The Melanated Midlife, a podcast where we talk real life, real transitions, and how to redesign your next season on purpose.
What if I’m introverted or hate networking?
Perfect. This is not “work the room” energy. It’s structured, calm, and strategic.
Is this only for people actively job searching?
No. It’s for promotion, transition, job loss recovery, or entrepreneurship.
What you’ll walk away with:
By the end of this webinar, you will know how to:
- Find opportunities through people, not postings
- Turn casual connections into strategic conversations
- Run a discovery call that reveals real needs (and opens doors)
- Translate your experience into a simple problem-solution-value message
- Build momentum whether you want a promotion, a pivot, a comeback after job loss, or an entrepreneurial lane
- You will not leave with “just network more” advice. You’ll leave with a plan.
What we’ll cover:
1) The Hidden Opportunity Mindset Shift
Why job boards are not built for you, and what works better for experienced professionals.
2) Your Network Map (done live)
We’ll map your contacts into four categories so you know exactly who to reach out to first.
3) The Discovery Call Playbook
I’ll give you the questions and structure to uncover real challenges and open doors, without asking for a job.
4) Messaging that gets replies
Simple outreach scripts you can use on LinkedIn and email that sound confident and human.
5) Turn insight into opportunity
How to package what you heard into a clear pitch that leads to introductions, projects, roles, or collaborations.
Live Q&A
Bring your situation. I’ll help you apply the strategy.
