Our upcoming events:
Career Industry Accelerator Club (Open): ChatGPT for Leery & Curious Career Industry Pros
Experience the power of CDI’s Career Industry Accelerator Club, a structured membership tier, that more closely connects members together while giving you the immense boost of F2F training immersion and hot seat coaching with 6-figure business success coach, Laura DeCarlo. During November and early December, CDI general association members get to join in on events that would typically be reserved for members of this level only (CIAC is the new name of the Fly Higher Tribe). Each 2-hour monthly event includes:
- 1-1 engagement networking activity.
- Topic-specific strategy training.
- Hot seat coaching from Laura and insider insights from colleagues.
In the teaching segment, Laura will host an exploratory session by sharing her screen to show Google Bard and ChatGPT in action. She will be applying different prompts primarily around the greatest request CDI received in the Critical Industry Analysis Survey around AI: resume writing/employment document development.
The chief goal of this session is just to open up these tools to those of you who are curious and wanting to dabble, but have done little to nothing yet. I know that when you see what is possible you’ll be just as dazzled and ready to jump in as I was.

- Meet fellow members to create new friendships and connections.
- Chance to have fun, lower stress, slow down, nourish your soul, strengthen your coach muscle (even if only for your own self-growth), build new relationships, create accountability, and achieve greater success overall.

Speed Networking Give & Receive Quarter Day Event
What an amazing event this was!
Every individual in our collective membership comes here with some type of superpower or powers.
You’re career heroes, but you might have skill and expertise about one particular industry, or you’ve made it your mission to be the best at something. You might even take it for granted but you have colleagues right now who are clamoring for that knowledge or connection.
Further, we’ve found that the CDI members who are taking the time to engage and participate are reporting that they’re more motivated through their connections and it’s leading to partnerships and referrals for them. (Hot ticket to business growth right now).
We get further faster when we support each other. We thrive in a supportive community. We don’t miss opportunities when we are together and not working in isolation.
Here’s what this fast-paced event contains:
- Guided activity to produce your most strategic introduction for the speed networking round.
- Guided activity to identify one specific thing you would most like to receive from your colleagues for the request round.
- Guided activity to identify one specific thing you can offer to your colleagues for the share round.
- Spreadsheet of participant names, LinkedIn URLs, top 2 services offered, what each needs, and what each can offer.
- And of course our almost trademarked silliness, laughter, fun, and camaraderie.
To be clear, this is not a barter situation. This is an opportunity for participants to:
- Identify new support systems.
- Gain help and accountability.
- Build partnerships, referral sources, and friendships.
Members who made time for this received tremendous ROI!
Attendees rated the last event:
- Attendees gave the event a 10/10 overall rating in the survey.
