Professional Goal Setting: Navigating Your Career Journey

Thursday January 13, 2022 — 12:00pm – 1:00pm

In the day-to-day routine of your job, it is easy to lose sight of what is important to you in the long run. Setting long-term professional goals is essential to advancing your career and feeling fulfilled by your job. Your career is a constant and evolving process of learning, risk-taking, evaluation, and planning. Maintain your value throughout the journey of your career with successful goal setting and achievement.

In this session you will:

• Identify your most important values that influence the direction of your career.

• Examine both the opportunities and barriers associated with three common career routes: occupational, organizational, and boundary-crossing.

• Challenge your beliefs around “climbing the ladder of success.”

• Cultivate your own best moments within your career journey.
