Career Tools 1: How to get the Right Things Done and Live to Tell the Story

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 2:00 PM - Wed, 11 Oct 2023 10:30 AM

This talk summarizes a range of tools that help us identify what we want to get done in our work (and our life) and get those things done while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Then it invites participants into a conversation about their reactions to what’s been presented, what they do to further their goals, and what suggestions *they* would offer. It does not promise participants that they will actually achieve what they want to get done — it’s just tools. Yes, that’s kinda funny. But we have to start somewhere.

This is the first of a series of 4 Career Tools sessions offered throughout the 2024 academic year. Following are the other online sessions which will have separate registrations.

  • How to Run a Meeting (TBA)
  • How to Email (spring 2024 TBA)
  • How to Give and Receive Feedback (spring 2024 TBA)

Stay tuned!
