Confidence, Caution, and Care: Embracing our Vital Contribution as Career Development Professionals
This session is devoted to you and to supporting the work you do everyday as a career development professional. In our time together, we’ll reconnect with our expertise and value, digging into the competencies and scope of practice that underpins the delivery of a meaningful career development process. We will identify some of the day-to-day situations that are the toughest in our work and, together, we’ll explore how to assess our own capacity, access practical tools and approaches, and mobilize our expertise. Finally, acknowledging the pressures and stresses inherent in much of our work, we’ll share strategies for self-care, setting boundaries, and building resilience. Come to share your wisdom, open your mind to new approaches, learn from each other, and refill your cup. Small fee will be applied.
