Recently, we had the privilege of hosting The Art of Career Storytelling meetup in collaboration with the D2Collective, a global, value-driven community of tech professionals. This wasn’t just an event but an evening celebrating the power of personal narratives and their transformative impact on careers.
A vibrant gathering of over 130 professionals
The atmosphere was electric as more than 130 external attendees, including tech enthusiasts and professionals from Marktplaats and Adevinta, gathered to explore new dimensions of their career journeys. The night was fueled by inspiring energy, meaningful conversations, and a shared commitment to growth.
Expert insights to elevate your career narrative
The evening featured a panel of industry experts who shared their perspectives on crafting standout career stories. Enrique Gaya, Business Development Manager at Marktplaats (Adevinta), offered practical advice on navigating a career story and seizing growth opportunities.
“Among other advantages, career storytelling brings transparency to the table, and that creates trust; thanks to this, we will be able to deepen our connections, and we will notice that ‘magically’ other people will tend to reciprocate and share their own stories”.
– Enrique Gaya, Business Development Manager at Marktplaats (Adevinta)
Ceagan Codrington, Country Manager Benelux (Trustpilot), and Priyanka Ramdas, Product and Marketing Leader (Google), joined Enrique on stage. Together, they explored:
- How to highlight your unique value proposition in a competitive market.
- The importance of presenting your achievements with authenticity.
- Embracing the non-linear nature of career progression and learning from pivots.
Their insights provided actionable strategies for professionals at all stages, inspiring the audience to refine their career narratives.
Let’s get inspired together!
The night reinforced an essential truth: careers are as much about building relationships and finding purpose as they are about achievements. It’s a continuous process of learning, evolving, and uncovering our true potential. By embracing the ups and downs of our journeys, we can craft narratives that genuinely reflect who we are and where we’re headed.
