To Change Your Career, Or Not (and if so, how to successfully make it happen)

2008 is here and it may be time to make new decisions.

Are you bored with your current job? Do you feel you’re earning a living but not answering your calling? Is the security of your current job suffocating you? Are you considering a career change but not entirely sure whether you should make the shift? Or, are you certain you would like a change but not exactly sure what career to pursue?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this seminar is for you!

Join us for a candid and interactive discussion with professional life coache – Dr. Lynn Friedman – a clinical psychologist who specializes in Career Coaching and Psychotherapy.

In creating your ideal work-life plan, our experts will start by helping you answer three important questions:

1) Should you change your career?
2) If yes, then how do you go about identifying the work that you love?
3) After identifying your ideal job, what steps should you take to transition to your new career. (And, importantly, how might you do it without taking entry level positions?).

Overall, we will examine:

- Low-risk ways to get started with your career change
- Power networking techniques
- How to make a career change manageable
- How to follow through on your goals
- How to succeed once you land your dream job

You can live to work or you can work to live. The choice is yours.
