Discovering Your Dream Career
Workshop for Teenagers
Sunday, 1st May 2011
Find success and freedom doing what you love best!
Your career decision is one of the most important choices you will make in your lifetime. Far too many people work in seemingly dead-end jobs that seem to be heading nowhere. All too often, they simply cannot wait for retirement to come along. And in the meantime, they “get by” with jobs that they’re ill-equipped to manage, that neither satisfy nor stimulate them. Some may be well-remunerated, and yet find their work to be a spiritual void. “Trapped” by invisible “golden” handcuffs – a slave to a job that provides security but neither stimulates nor bears meaning or purpose.
Often, the criteria they use for career selection include one or more of the following:
- Appears to be “interesting” or glamorous
- Following on Mum or Dad’s footsteps, even if their personality, skills and interests may not quite suit
- Succumbing to “social” pressure i.e. the expectations of others – family members, friends, community, etc
- What is perceived to create stability and security and is financially rewarding
- Settling for something they feel they’re capable of at the time
And yet, there are those who seem to have “dream jobs” doing what they love doing best, jobs that seem to be “right up their alley” when it comes to the use of their unique strengths and talents, that enable them to make a significant difference to the lives of the people they serve and who are well-rewarded for their efforts.“Discovering your Dream Career” is a full-day workshop designed to inspire and empower you with the tools and strategies that will put you on the path towards discovering YOUR own unique voice. Drawing on the strategies of those who have great careers that they’re absolutely passionate about, it will give you insights into important perspectives on what it takes to identify and create a career that’s satisfying in all dimensions – financially, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Join us for a stimulating, highly interactive, enjoyable and inspiring workshop, filled with anecdotes and practical exercises.
