> IN AND OUT OF THE CAREER STREAM
>
> Learning to Live with Career Uncertainty
>/ Seminar at University of Bristol
>
>Your career is literally your business. You own it as

>benefit from the changes in the environment. Nobody
>else can do that for you.

>

>What do you want to achieve through your career? Is
>it simply a way of paying the monthly bills or is it
>more than that? This seminar provides practical
>advice on safeguarding and building your current
>career, but it also tackles a deeper and more
>challenging question; what can stop us from crafting
>the career (and life) that we really want for
>ourselves?
>
>Learn about the fundamental career lessons of the last
>decade and what the future holds in store
>
>We are all aware that the nature of work has changed
>radically in recent years as organisations have
>embraced new technology and management ideas, coped
>with increasing complexity and competitiveness, and
>made ever greater demands on their people:
>
>� What lessons can we learn as individuals, either on
>the inside of organisations attempting to prosper (or
>simply survive!) or stepping outside to carve our own
>niche?
>
>� What does the immediate future hold for us as the
>economic downturn begins to bite and organisations
>react to an increasingly uncertain future?
>
>Periods of transition are times of opportunity as well
>as challenge
>
>Simply understanding what is happening in the world
>around us is not enough. During this seminar we will
>look at how you can actively take control of your
>career and build the life that you want. We will
>explore some of the trade-offs that you might need to
>make when you change track, and take a look at the
>paradox of pro-actively managing your career whilst
>being open to where life itself is leading you.
>
>This seminar will address how you can manage your
>career to meet work and life objectives, for example:
>
>� What to expect in the next 18 months and how to work
>with the forthcoming changes.
>
>� The seven golden rules for career resilience � the
>practical steps you can take to boost your career
>prospects and finding the work that suits you best.
>
>� Making a Fresh Start � summoning up the courage to
>make fundamental changes in your life.
>
>� Exploring new options - alternative career
>structures and life choices including �portfolio�
>careers and choices on life-work balance.

>and what not to do!

>
>
>
>
>New working relationships � developing a genuine

>short term flexibility by embracing new working
>relationships.
