[WATCH THE RECORDING] Can this job be saved?
Bates College + Lighthouse Career Associates Present a New Virtual Professional Development Program Series!
Can this job be saved?
More than 47 million Americans quit their jobs in the past year. Are you considering adding one more to the count? The pressure of doing more with less, the frustration of being unappreciated, and the empty space where “meaning” might have previously lived, all contribute to the question “stay or leave?”
Drawing on design thinking and tactics from the best-selling book, Designing Your (New) Work Life (Burnett and Evans), we’ll quickly assess your current situation and discuss how you might prototype your way to greater satisfaction in your current job. (And, just in case, we’ll briefly touch on quitting well!)
To prepare for, and get the most from, the workshop, please make the time to watch the following Youtube recordings:
- Designing Your Best Life with Bill Burnett and Dave Evans (16 mins)
- 5 steps to designing the life you want | Bill Burnett | TEDxStanford (25 mins)
In addition, Anne strongly recommends that you please review the following exercise.
