Workshop / Webinar Topics
​“I appreciate the holistic perspective to changing careers. It gave me a really helpful new perspective, whereas I was hitting a wall with the more obvious/practical approaches to the career change.”
​Reconnect & Renew Your Satisfaction with Work (1-1.5 hours)
    Alternate Title: Reconnecting to Your Career Journey  
In a poll conducted by Gallup last year, it was revealed that only 36% of a random sample of American employees report genuine enthusiasm and commitment to their job. Are you one of the actively engaged, or has some of your passion and energy been snatched by the past year’s multitude of challenges?
 
This session will provide the space and literal breathing room to pause and assess your own work life in the wider context of the pandemic and in the specific framework of your own career progress. We will use mindfulness, reflection and journal writing to tap into what you love about your work and what talents make you feel alive, and break into small groups to offer and receive suggestions about how to renew your satisfaction with work. Flow, values, and daily gratitude are some of the concepts we will discuss as paths to increased happiness and engagement. Note: A handout will be sent before the session as optional pre-work related to your values.
“Short exercises and small breakout groups contributed to an A-ha moment. ~Karen Single
 
“This session was very powerful and meaningful for me.” ~Lori Bechard, PhD
 
“Sabrina did an excellent job grounding the workshop in familiar activities around values and priorities, but then moved us into some breathing and guided imagery exercises and discussions that helped us pause, reflect, and reconnect with our own intuition and inner guidance.”  ~Donna Gaspar Jarvis                                                                       
Building the Foundation for Your Career Advancement (1-1.5 hours)
     Alternate Title: Career Check-in: Gaining Clarity & Confidence for Future Career Growth
When have you felt a strong sense of accomplishment? What about flow state, that work mode where you are challenged, engaged, and lose all track of time? By exploring these moments more in depth, you can build a base from which to take on new responsibilities, get promoted, or ace that interview. This session will:
·      Provide you with tools to build self-efficacy and self-confidence
·      Give you tangible examples to share when seeking advancement and leadership roles
·      Show you how your stories bring to life your skills during interviews  
·      Enable you to identify when you are in flow state and/or feel a strong sense of satisfaction
·      Help you to be more clear about which skills you most enjoy using, for charting your career progression
Join us for this interactive session to start building your own personal foundation for meaningful career advancement.
​​Note: This session includes optional pre-work, asking participants to think about 4-5 moments in life where they felt a personal sense of accomplishment or achievement.
"As much as I was looking forward to it, when my reminder went off mid-day, I thought 'can I afford to take this break from work?' I'm so glad I did. The reflections were incredibly helpful to me as I'm facing some uncertainty in my current role. I really like this idea of self-efficacy and thinking back on my past accomplishments to help shape my future direction."

Navigating a Successful Career Change (1-1.5 hours)
Making a career transition can be a daunting process. From time to time, many of us feel we’re on the wrong track but it’s easy to get trapped by fear or self-doubt if we start thinking about heading in a new direction. Understanding when it’s time for a change, where you want to get to, and how to go about it, are important tools that allow you to take control of your career. Using stories from real-life, this strategic session explores how to evaluate your current situation, identify your objectives, and create a realistic plan of action, including:
·       Your assets (strengths, interests, values),
·       The marketplace, and
·       Your network.  
Join us to learn 5 key steps that will help you initiate and implement a successful career change.
