Forging and Sustaining a Career of Impact and Purpose

This course explores knowledge and strategies essential for proactive career management and tackles four documented requisites for career success: identifying one's true talents and the contributions that are only theirs to make; understanding the values that anchor one's definition of career success; possessing the right skills to navigate organizations and human systems in a world of constant change; and finding useable strategies to manage stress, increase productivity, and avoid burnout. This active learning weekend combines timely conceptual discussions and use of diagnostic instruments, with opportunities for self-reflection, feedback, and individual and group activities designed to maximize student capacities for career success.
