Webinar — Tell Me, Why Your [Professional] Identity Matters?

 

You would have read about SmartQA and HOTS in my blog.  Every Friday a webinar with label musings brings a fresh topic consistently.  This webinar is from Ashok Thiruvengadam and the recordings are here.

One such webinar is "The Slow Drift of Professional Identity" on 9th January 2026.  As a sequel to this webinar, we from community have got an opportunity to share our thoughts.  This webinar is scheduled on 16th January 2026.  More details below.

The Slow Drift of Professional Identity

In short, this webinar reflected on,

• How important is the personal identity!
• How and when the personal identity can fade?  Why?
• Why should one have her or his identity for first and then a professional identity?
• How the current technologies, platform and expectations weigh more on past of yours than current identity?
• How and why the current identity is always under construction?
• How the job roles and description define what you are doing and your identity?
• How my yesterday's work and value reflect on my today's and future growth?

If observed closely, we all are navigating through this since we started our career.  And, we will be navigating through this puzzle of identity and professional identity.

Identity and professional identity matters!

I'm happy for having this opportunity from Ashok.  

I'm delighted for having a space to sit and listen the thoughts and experiences of Catherine and Sandeep.  Knowing Sandeep and Catherine from close quarters, I'm grateful to get a chair to sit beside them as a co-speaker from the community.

In this webinar, we three will be sharing our learning, experiences and hard learned lessons from our career and practices.  Ashok will be moderating the discussions.
