May 11th Meeting TOPIC

May 11, 2012

Career Resilience in a Difficult Economy

Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from setbacks.  As career professionals we must model to clients and students how to navigate through and manage careers in a difficult economy.  Would you like to be a positive example of how to manage changes and choices beyond your control?  Would you like to be better equipped to guide others through transitions in their career paths? 

Join us as we discover ways to deal with burn out, frustration and career setbacks. We will participate in strategically designed group activities and exercises that will enhance career resilience.  You will leave the session ready to use these techniques with students and clients.

Our expert presenter is Susan Berg, Managing Partner at Compass Associates and Career Management Expert. Susan brings over 30 years of career focused experience as a transition expert and an award-winning international consultant and author.  Her career-long focus on resilience and managing change has won praise from Fortune 500 giants and renowned humanitarian non-profits alike.   She is author of Choose on Purpose for Twentysomethings, and holds a PhD in Adult Education from the University of California, Los Angeles.

ACP Members "Speak-Up"

Great meeting in February! The panel was amazing-they were all expert and professional, and adept at communicating their knowledge.  Listening to them, I learned so much more about a subject I felt I was familiar with. Great content, an interesting panel, and a well-organized event made it  worth getting up early.
