SUMMARY:Making Plans for the Next Step: Things to Do as You Explore & Plan What’s Next For You
DESCRIPTION:Are you loving what you do professionally\, but wonder why you’re not advancing as quickly as you wish? Does it feel as though you might be in a career rut? Are you asking “What’s next and how do I make the ‘big step’ to get there?” Or is it that you’re not even sure how to find that ‘big step’? All too often we continue on “as is” in our work environment\, wanting more\, or seeking change\, but not sure how to move in that direction. \nJoin Leah Gowron (ALT ’90-91) for an engaging look at how a yearly check-in can make ALL the difference as you plan the next stages in your professional development. With more than 25 years of career development\, leadership training\, and a commitment to supporting fellow JETS as they progress professionally\, this session will offer some ways to stop\, reflect\, ask questions\, and create -hopefully (!)- manageable “next steps.” This session is for everyone\, whether you’re just returning from JET or you’ve been back and working 5\, 10\, 15 years or more. \nRegister now to join live\, receive a copy of the recording\, or both!
