WEBINAR DESCRIPTION: Germaine to the process of career counseling is helping individuals, despite their circumstances, gain the clarity, resources, and strategies to make smooth transitions to their next endeavors in life. Many career practitioners are inundated with clients who are coming to terms with fear, uncertainty, frustration, and grief. At times, it can be easy to feel disempowered, stressed, and discouraged by the multitude of issues that arise. Yet, the career practitioner’s own mindset and well-being is an important aspect of the client’s journey. Drawing from the theoretical framework of Alfred Adler and other leaders in the positive psychology arena, participants who register for this webinar will learn practical tips and tools to construct their own recipe for maintaining positivity and wellness. The result: career practitioners who feel happier and lighter are more focused, connected, and effective with their clients!
