Mid-Career Malaise
Session 2: 1110-1215 EST
At some point in your career, it is perfectly normal to feel stuck. The signs can be subtle – a gut feeling that something is off, questioning everything, a general sense of “meh,” – and it can ultimately impact both your professional and personal life. It’s important to know that you are not alone – people in many industries and countries experience this and while this is typically known as a “mid-career” slump, it can happen at any age or stage of your career. This session focuses on career ruts and why they happen, and will share effective, proactive tools and strategies for breaking free – many of which may surprise you!
Future Workforce Workshop
Session 3: 1230-1400 EST
