About the event
What is it like to wake up and discover your job has disappeared? What is it like to find out your position, department, career has been cancelled - through no fault of your own? The temptation is to rant, rail, rage. To feel angry, lost, or afraid. But that serves no good purpose. It won't undo what happened or improve the situation. A better response is to return to resourcefulness - to take responsibility for our own success. That’s what we'll be exploring in this session.
There will be other experts and guest speakers in this series that focus on the specific, real-world logistics of resumes, interviews, and job search strategies. That's not what we'll be focusing on. We'll be focusing on how to get crystal clear why you're here - and set it in motion this year. You'll be filling out Sam's proprietary frameworks for Pablo Picasso'ing your life and career. He said, "The purpose of life is to discover your gifts. The meaning is to give them away."
What are your gifts? What is the unique EEE - Experience, Expertise, Epiphanies - you can integrate and leverage into a rewarding NEXT? What are your values - your non-negotiables - about who you are, what you stand for, what you won't stand for? How can you align those and keep them front and center as you move forward? How can you be a light in the dark?
You'll have opportunities to answer thought-provoking questions about the RIVER that runs through your life so you can connect your career dots forward and lead a lit-up life. If that sounds good to you, hope you'll join us for an inspiring, interactive evening.
