DATES TO BE DETERMINED at CDA Offices • $ 195.00
Changing or restructuring your work-life today requires that you know your Brand You: your skills, interests, temperament, and values, all tied to your list of Success Criteria, which you will discover in the class. These are the "Glass Balls" which can’t be dropped, as opposed to the expendable "Rubber Balls" that detract and clutter up our personal and professional lives.
Dr. Harkness asks you to consider these important questions:
- Is your career work-life in chaos?
- Have you lost your job or your enthusiasm for work?
- Has your safe and secure "40 years womb to tomb" career model become a "yoyo"? - you're on your own?
- Would you like to know what your career options are for providing meaning, money, creativity and control?
If you answered yes to any or all of the above questions, come join us!
