How to take control of your career development

Sarah Ellis and Helen Tupper

This online workshop is part of our new autumn programme of digital masterclasses that we are offering. To help you go back to school with a fresh perspective, we are offering a very limited supply of introductory tickets for each event, discounted up to 20% – once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Our career trajectories no longer run in straight lines, as once they might have. Rather than being linear or predictable, we are experiencing constant ambiguity, change and more transitions than ever before. In a volatile world and working environment, how can we take ownership of our ‘squiggly careers’ and discover what really makes us tick?

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 learn how to take control of your career direction and development, 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 take you through how to discover your super strengths, how to recognise and do more of what motivates you, how to escape comparison culture and stay curious – and more.

Ultimately, you will unlock a previously untapped resource of confidence and direction, allowing you to reinvigorate your career and breathe fresh life into your ambition.
