Watersheds, important turning points, or transitions in our careers
are a fact of modern life and most likely will affect all of us on some
level. Some transitions are self-initiated and approached with
enthusiasm while others are unwelcome, leaving many people feeling
victimized. Both scenarios require taking risks and may provoke
anxieties and fears that can impede our ability to function at our
best. This session will provide some insights
and tools to prepare yourself to confidently meet the challenges that come with career watersheds, including:
Learning more about you, your career aspirations and motivations
Anticipating environmental shifts and estimating the impact of the shifts
Creating opportunities for yourself
Support systems for your career transitions
Turning ideas into action
