Career Journeys
"Career Journeys"
An Interactive Discussion
Do you struggle to get excited about a job that others say you should feel good about? Are you looking for a career that feels like it was made just for you? There is a map that can guide you there!
Join me Friday, December 15 at Noon Eastern / 9AM Pacific for my free Career Journeys discussion.
Unlike our parents' and grandparents' days, careers nowadays rarely follow a simple, straight line. I've worked with many clients who shifted directions midstream, sometimes multiple times. These varied from a minor course correction to a radical change. Some continued in the corporate world, others carved out successful consulting practices.
I've also made two major career transitions myself, ultimately to my current (final?) career as Job Search Strategist. I enjoy sharing what I've learned about career journeys, and this series of interview lets me add into the mix what has worked for others. Join me as I explore the clues to fulfilling transitions, to help you uncover the recipe for success in your own career journey.
On December 15, I'm going to interview Michael Hadley, a developer, educator and artist who translates creative ideas into code and teaches others how to do the same. I'm going to interview Michael on his journey from pursuing a Phd in Neuroscience, to gaining an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago, to Curriculum Director and teacher for CodeAbode, to Assistant Professor and Learning Product Developer for Columbia College, to Software Engineer at Replit, all before the age of 35.
I'm going to explore Michael's transitions to see what lessons we can learn from those. We'll take your questions as well, so line them up!
Join us as we embark on this 1 hour journey Friday, December 15
Noon Eastern / 11AM Central / 10AM Mountain / 9AM Pacific.
(If you can't make it live, I will make a recording available to registrants for a limited time afterwards.)
