Taking control of your career and working toward a

Taking control of your career and working toward achieving your professional goals can feel intimidating. However, by following these few golden rules, you can open doors to opportunities, receive essential support, and challenge barriers that may impede your progress.⠀
⠀
First and foremost, always appreciate the power of networking. Reach out to your colleagues and those in positions you aspire to, and genuinely ask about their roles and experiences. Be transparent about your aspirations and show your eagerness to grow. ⠀
⠀
Secondly, don't get bogged down by qualifications you might not yet have. Instead of viewing them as shortcomings, see them as a testament to your determination to thrive. ⠀
⠀
Lastly, be intentional in communicating the value and impact of your work, whether it's on clients, customers, or the broader community. Relate this impact to your personal goals, painting a clear picture of your dedication and alignment with the company's objectives. By adopting these strategies, not only will you be better positioned for growth, but you'll also instill confidence in those around you about your potential.⠀
⠀
If you are a working woman, whether employed outside of the home or consulting/freelance, including those currently unemployed or considering workforce re-entry, our Economic Empowerment Program is designed to give you the digital literacy, financial literacy, career readiness skills and job effectiveness skills needed to reenter the workforce or grow your career.⠀

Prioritizing the payment of high-interest debts, e

Prioritizing the payment of high-interest debts, especially credit card debt, is a crucial step in financial planning and obtaining financial freedom. When you have high-interest debt, a significant portion of your monthly payments goes toward paying the interest rather than reducing the principal balance. This means you end up paying much more for your purchases over time.⠀
⠀
To prioritize paying off high-interest debts, consider the following steps:⠀
💳 Create a Debt Payoff Plan: Organize your debts, focusing on the highest-interest debts first. Allocate extra payments to these debts while making minimum payments on others.⠀
💳 Budget Wisely: Adjust your budget to allocate more funds toward debt repayment. This may involve cutting unnecessary expenses.⠀
💳 Seek Lower Interest Rates: Explore options to transfer high-interest credit card balances to cards with lower interest rates, such as a balance transfer credit card.⠀
💳 Additional Income: Look for ways to increase your income, like a part-time job or freelancing, to accelerate debt repayment.⠀
💳 Consult a Financial Advisor: If you're struggling with managing your debt, consider seeking advice from a financial advisor or credit counselor who can provide tailored strategies to reduce your debt effectively.⠀

As we gather around our tables and share in the warmth of this Thanksgiving season, we at YWCA Darien Norwalk want to take a moment to express our profound gratitude for your unwavering support. Your commitment to our mission of empowering women and eliminating racism in our community is the cornerstone of our work, and it is what makes moments like these even more meaningful.⠀
⠀
This year, as we reflect on the blessings in our lives, we are acutely aware of the challenges that many in our community face, especially during these uncertain economic times. The spirit of Thanksgiving extends beyond the confines of our own homes and compels us to come together to support those who are most vulnerable. Food insecurity has been a pressing issue, and your support has been instrumental in addressing this critical need.⠀
⠀
As we give thanks, let us also renew our commitment to creating a better future for all. Together, we can be the change we wish to see.⠀
⠀
This Thanksgiving, may your hearts be filled with gratitude, and may the spirit of giving continue to shine brightly. From all of us at YWCA Darien Norwalk, we wish you a joyful and heartfelt Thanksgiving celebration.
