Subject: NoWAL course - Stepping out of the comfort zone: for staff
whoneed support in career/life planning
Apologies for cross posting.
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?"
Robert Schuller
This seminar is aimed at staff who have reached a point in their careers where they have
achieved many of the things they originally set out to. The challenge is now to look at
what to do next. For some people this might mean aspiring to a role they have not
previously considered, for others it might mean staying where are but putting measures in
place to ensure that they continue to learn and grow in their role. Alternatively it might
be time for a complete rethink involving a change in direction or focus.
The session is a small facilitated discussion session for staff in the above position
based around the following 4 questions.
* What is my vision for the perfect life?
* What motivates me to work?
* How closely does my current life match the vision and what am I doing to realise it?
* What do I need to do next?
At the end of the session the attendees should be in a position to start formulating
answers to these questions. There are no set outcomes as to what staff will take away from
this session as it will be personal to each attendee.
Comments from previous attendees
"I thought it was really useful and thought-provoking on a number of levels."
"... it was good to be with people who were in a similar situation - all wondering what
we're doing and where we're going!"
"I found the exercises really useful to help clarify my thinking. It was obvious that
most of the things I want in life are pretty much attainable with some adjustments to my
lifestyle."
The following seminars will take place in 2008 in Liverpool and Preston. if you are
