Annual Breakfast

Title: Exploring Career Resilience

Summary:  Are you equipped with the right tools to survive and thrive in your chosen career?  Explore what career resilience is and how to strengthen yours by considering 'fitness' in three areas: job fitness, personal fitness, and career fitness.  The first helps you to focus on the things that count, the second to deal with the trials and tribulations that life may spring upon us, and the third to be mindful of what we should spend more time on to aid our career in the longer term.  You will be invited to think about what’s contributed to your success so far, what you’re motivated by and how you can build greater resilience and ensure you have the right mindset and support in place to enable your future career and life success.
