Does Anybody Have a Map? Career Wayfinding

Tuesday, October 29
11:30AM-1:00PM
Live from UNMC Omaha Classroom + Zoom simulcast for state-wide locations
location in calendar invite upon registration.

Are you an early faculty wondering which of the myriad options will set course for your "best" career?

Have you reached Associate Professor, and now wondering how you'll navigate the tradeoffs between career and family obligations?
Do you ever find yourself enticed by an opportunity, only to wonder what's behind Door Number 2

It may be daunting to navigate the myriad options for your “best” career path. A dilemma of “no bad choices” is still a dilemma--often leading decisional paralysis, distress, and/or frustration.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to identify and address effectively stalled processes in a multiverse of settings – interpersonal, organizational, and personal. Develop a deeper understanding of techniques to identify goals, assess current situations and obstacles, generate possible solutions, and develop a plan of action.
