Our modern career paths are marked by constant change, whether change we choose or change forced upon us. We need to reshape our understanding of what it can look like to grow as professionals in this new career landscape, and how this changing environment actually frees us to create career paths that are more interesting, creative, and dynamic than those of generations past. In this highly interactive session, we will rewrite our expectations for our career growth and consider models that afford us more creativity and freedom than the linear path. You’ll walk away with a new vision for your career trajectory in the changing job landscape, practical tools for shaping your professional goals, and a wider understanding of what it means to be a successful professional.
