Through clear frameworks, real examples, and actionable tools, he shows how to translate the work done in camp into language that resonates in interviews, resumes, and professional settings. Whether you are preparing staff to launch their next chapter or seeking to articulate your own value, this session is about turning seasonal experience into lasting career momentum.
