What does it mean to take ownership of your professional development, to move through the world knowing that you have not only identified what motivates you, but are pursuing it?
It’s true that our career trajectories seldom run in straight lines, and now more than ever they are disrupted or compromised by extenuating or unprecedented circumstances. Yet, there is a way you can seize this ambiguity and use it to your advantage, by taking ownership of your own “squiggly career” and approaching your career - whether new or established - with intent.
In this impactful lecture-style workshop with Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis, authors of The Squiggly Career and founders of award-winning career development agency Amazing If, you will discover how to be your own career coach, giving you the empowerment and agency to excel in your professional life.
Full of ideas, tools, practical actions and frameworks that you can begin using right away, this masterclass will supply you with everything you need to both coach yourself and have better career conversations with other people too.
Ultimately, you will unearth a previously untapped wellspring of confidence and direction, allowing you to reinvigorate your career and breathe fresh life into your personal ambition.
You will be sent a link to the webinar 2hrs before the start time of 6.30pm (BST).
