NEXT STEPS: Career Planning with Simple Steps
The Next Steps workshops are a series of career development workshops that offer women returning to work an opportunity to outline their next career plans. Being ready for your next career move means preparing for your life. In the workshops, you will learn about what motivates you to return to work and the obstacles leading to hesitation. We will talk about how to prioritize your work and life, and how to find the right work style for you. We also invite Dr. Cecile Hyewon Bhang to discuss what is career decision anxiety and how we can manage it. You will begin to frame a career goal to build and sustain momentum after this meeting.
The 90-minute workshop will meet weekly on Mondays at 8 PM (PST) for 3 weeks (Jan 18 - Feb 1, 2021). There will be an office hour(optional) on Feb 6. Join the Next Steps and find the important destinations in your future. Simple Steps will support you to finish the journey.
