Series overview

Part I: Getting unstuck to reach your career goals: Positive career intelligence

Tim Gallwey summed up that, ‘Our Performance = Our Potential – Interference.’ Described as ‘inner critics’ or ‘saboteurs,’ interference lies primarily between our ears. These inner critics or saboteurs show up in a range of ways, including but not limited to perfectionism, overachievement, excessive control, anxiety, trying to please others, avoiding problems, and finally, being judgmental of ourselves and others. This session will help you gain clarity on the saboteurs that may be impacting your career. It’s dedicated time to get unstuck and begin reaching your career goals.

  • Increase your awareness of how your top saboteurs are impacting your career
  • Connect with others with similar saboteurs and develop strategies to manage them

Part II: The career paradox: Planning for serendipity

When we try to figure out how to ensure career success, the process inevitably backfires. But, why? We will share stories of successful health information professionals and uncover what they have in common in this session. While some factors for career success include luck, we will discover the critical steps for managing your career so that you can maximize your opportunities when they arise.

Part III: Your personal brand in action 

Celebrities have teams of people to help them manage their brands and stand out from the crowd—but what about you?  Could you, or do you, have a personal brand that can set you apart? In this session, we will explore critical ways that others experience your brand, and ways for you to actively manage your brand both in-person and online.

Part IV: Constructive career conversations with your manager

Let’s face it; many of us have had conversations with our manager at some point about our career that didn’t leave us feeling great or move us forward in our desired direction. Yet, gaining your manager’s support for your career growth is key to your development within an organization. 

In this session, we will help you overcome these challenges and provide you with a framework to support you in having quick, effective, and rewarding career conversations with your manager.

Part V: Get-it-done career hour

You have ideas on how to help your career along, but you can’t seem to find the time to turn them into reality. Sound familiar? In this session, we will help you overcome procrastination, resistance, and perfectionism by supporting you in having a working session to get that career stuff done— finally! Whether it’s updating your LinkedIn profile, tweaking your resume, or reaching out to your network, this session will help you get it done.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand your barriers to getting your career work done
