The Secret to Forging Your Own Professional Path

About this session

In a world where climbing the career ladder is the norm, it can be easy to follow a predetermined professional path.

But cookie cutter growth plans don’t conform to our unique strengths and desires. OwnTrail’s CoFounder, Kt McBratney, will be joining us to talk about ways to take charge of your professional journey and forge a path that works for you.

We’ll explore reflection questions and goal-setting techniques that can help you articulate and pursue your aspirations in an actionable way to help propel your growth.

In this chat you’ll learn:

  • How to understand your perspectives, skills, and internal resources.
  • How to increase your feelings of support and solidarity
  • How to get a renewed vision for how you will move forward towards your aspirations.
