Does it ever feel like you have little control over your career in today’s rapidly changing workforce?
Building career resilience is the key to getting back in the driver seat and successfully navigating the growing uncertainty of the future of work!
Career resilience is the ability to proactively adapt to new career realities and make progress towards achieving your career goals in the midst of a changing work landscape.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to foster career resilience by implementing, at any stage of your career, three principles for thriving amid change, as well as by adopting a free-agent outlook — which means taking responsibility for your career development while viewing yourself as a business with services to offer to an employer.

- an introduction to three key principles to enhancing resilience — fostering a growth mindset, knowing your purpose and strengthening your skills; and
