ICN needs your help to Upskill Insights
Few professions have been as affected by the introduction of AI tools and RTO hiring trends as Insights professionals. Compounding years of layoffs and limited growth have left tens of thousands of highly educated and well-experienced professionals with few options. The ICN community and our thousands of Insights Allies are ready to stand up and help us each heal and rebuild.

Mental Health Resilience & the Healthy Job Searchls
Job searching can be one of the most emotionally taxing experiences—filled with uncertainty, rejection, and pressure to constantly show up at your best. Join us for a candid and empowering conversation focused on building mental resilience, maintaining perspective, and navigating the job search in a healthier, more sustainable way.
We’re honored to feature a dynamic speaker known as both a methodologist and creative, who has led high-impact work in strategic planning, complex research, and culture and brand transformation. As co-founder of ILLUME Advising, Anne E. Dougherty helped build a 50-person consultancy that transformed how the energy sector approaches policy and technology change through human-centered, insight-driven strategies. Most recently, as Chief Strategy Officer at E Source, she led enterprise strategy, AI-enabled innovation, M&A, and organizational design.
In this session, she’ll share:
• Practical strategies for managing stress and uncertainty during a job search
• How to reframe rejection and maintain momentum
• Ways to stay grounded in your values and identity throughout the process
• Tools to build resilience and protect your mental well-being
Whether you’re actively searching, considering a transition, or supporting others in their careers, this conversation will offer both perspective and actionable takeaways.
Let’s prioritize not just landing the next role—but doing so in a way that sustains your well-being.
