Your Next Career Chapter Starts Here
What a powerful opportunity for women who are ready to reignite their careers and embrace what is next. On Thursday, September 25, 2025, Untapped Potential is hosting its Returner’s Accelerator Workshop virtually, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
This is more than just a workshop; it is a launchpad. Designed especially for caregivers, stay-at-home moms (or dads), and mid-career professionals who have stepped away from the workforce, this program gathers everything we know works into one highly focused, practical session. It is called an Accelerator for a reason: it propels you forward faster with the confidence, clarity, and tools you need to step boldly into your next chapter.
And if you have been waiting for the right time to return to paid work, the time is now. October’s return-to-work events are just around the corner, and this Accelerator is the perfect preparation.
Why This Workshop Matters
Writing a resume after years or even decades away from formal employment (or a job search) can feel overwhelming. Updating a LinkedIn profile can seem intimidating if you have not been active in that space. Even just owning your professional story after caregiving can feel daunting.
However, here is the truth: your skills are still valuable, your experiences still count, and your contributions matter more than ever in today’s evolving workforce.
At Untapped Potential, we have spent seven years helping women return to work after career breaks ranging from six months to 21 years. Along the way, we have learned what really works and what does not when it comes to relaunching careers. This Accelerator pulls all of those proven strategies into one supportive space, so you can stop second-guessing and start moving forward.
What You Will Gain
This is not a passive “sit and listen” workshop. It is a hands-on, interactive session where you will do the real work of preparing for your relaunch. Together, we will cover the most critical steps to set you up for success, including:
You: Your Aspirations and Where You Fit
We will start with you. Returning to work is not only about landing a job; it is about aligning with your aspirations, values, and vision for the future. Through guided reflection, you will gain clarity on the roles and industries that best fit your goals today, not ten years ago.
Your UP Profile
The cornerstone of Untapped Potential’s approach is the UP Profile, a modern, bias-fighting tool that highlights your skills, experiences, and potential in ways that a traditional resume often fails to do. You will learn how to create your profile and see how it complements your resume while helping you stand out to inclusive employers.
Resume Refresh and Age-Proofing
Still clinging to Times New Roman? That is just one sign your resume might need a makeover. You will learn how small updates such as modern fonts, clear formatting, and refreshed language can transform your resume from outdated to eye-catching. More importantly, you will understand how to showcase your most relevant experiences, even unpaid or community work, so hiring managers recognize your true value.
LinkedIn Hacks That Work
LinkedIn is today’s networking currency. We will teach you how to update your profile there, so it reflects your readiness to return, how to highlight transferable skills, and how to network with confidence. In addition, you will walk away with our LinkedIn Tips Guide, a resource you can use anytime to keep your online presence strong.
Telling Your Story with Confidence
The hardest part of returning is not the resume. It is often the story. How do you explain a gap? How do you talk about caregiving in a way that employers respect? How do you connect different parts of your journey into a cohesive narrative? In this workshop, we will practice language and strategies that help you own your story and present it powerfully.
Who Should Attend The returner's Accelerator Workshop
This workshop is for you if you:
Worry your resume looks outdated and does not reflect who you are today
Want a second set of eyes and a supportive community to give you feedback
Need some motivation to finally sit down and polish your materials
Feel uncertain about how to talk about your career gap or unpaid work
Are ready to re-engage professionally and do not want to go it alone
Whether you are just starting to think about returning or already applying for roles, the Returner’s Accelerator will meet you where you are.
Why We Call It an Accelerator
Because it works.
Candidates who have participated in this program have gone on to secure meaningful roles across industries, from finance to healthcare to technology. Some had been away for just a couple of years, while others for over two decades. What they shared in common was a desire to contribute, to grow, and to thrive professionally again.
This workshop accelerates your progress by cutting through the noise of conflicting advice and giving you a clear, guided path. Instead of spending months second-guessing your resume or avoiding LinkedIn, you will leave with tools, strategies, and the confidence to step forward.
A Community That Lifts Together
One of the most powerful aspects of Untapped Potential is the community you join when you participate. You will connect with fellow returners who understand your journey, mentors who have walked the path before you, and industry professionals who believe in the value of diverse, non-linear career journeys.
Because at the heart of it, relaunching a career is not something you should have to do alone. And at Untapped Potential, you will not.

Invest in Yourself Because You Are Worth It
So many women hesitate to invest time or money in themselves after years of giving everything to their families, their communities, and others. However, here is the reminder you need: you are worth this investment.
This workshop is not only about resumes or LinkedIn profiles. It is about dignity, confidence, and reclaiming your professional voice. It is about showing your children, your peers, and most importantly yourself that it is never too late to reignite your career.
When women rise, we all rise. Your return to work is part of a bigger story, one of empowerment, progress, and collective impact.
Join us on September 25th. Step into your power. Take action on your future. Because the best chapters of your career may still be ahead.
