Description
Shortly before Kabul fell to the Taliban in August2021, I reached out to my friend Kirsten to find out how she was doing and she insisted she was fine. It didn't seem like she was planning on leaving Afghanistan any time soon. What happened next no doubt surprised her. Kirsten Forbes is the Supply Chain Manager at the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC, officially based in Kabul Afghanistan, though recently relocated to Dushanbe Tajikistan. Kirsten has worked at the red cross for a little over 2 years, prior to that she worked for 3 years at a FTSE top 10 FMCG. Kirsten will be speaking with me live on LinkedIn about her career journey. She will also be speaking about what she personally experienced being based in Afghanistan at the time that it fell only days ago. This is going to be a session that faces head-on what it’s like to manage a career with impact, and how to lead with compassion amidst adversity and challenge. to find out more about my work to support positive impact career transitions, you can connect with me as follows: My links https://linktr.ee/katherineannbyam
