To kick off our 2026 activities, we're bringing career professionals together in person for something simple, meaningful, and joyful: Coffee & Conversation at an old favorite - La Madeleine at Perimeter.
Because we love our careers - and we love our career coach and counselor community - we invite you to join us on the eve of Valentine's Day:
Friday, February 13
8:30 am - 10:30 AM
La Madeleine at the Perimeter
1163 Perimeter Center W Ste. 330
Atlanta, GA 30346
In the spirit of Julia Child (author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and queen of doing what you love with joy), we'll be embracing a little French flair - including heart-shaped name tags, just like Julia famously wore on Valentine's Day.
Over coffee and croissants, we'll gather to reflect and connect:
- Why do we love helping clients navigate their careers?
- What continues to inspire us in this work?
- How do we sustain joy, purpose, and connection in our profession?
No agenda. No presentations. Just good conversation, great people, and a shared love for the work we do.
Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and start your Valentine's weekend celebrating a career you love--and bring a friend!
We can't wait to see you there!
PS: Feel free to wear a touch of red, pink, pearls, or French-inspired flair if you're feeling festive.
