Career clarity and your next steps webinar

Gaining clarity for your career by examining preferences, strengths, development areas and ensuring your next career steps, CV and development plan are aligned.

This engaging and personal webinar covered:

• How to set you up for career success by identifying your next career steps to get out career overwhelm and frustration and achieve your dream career.
• Strengthening your CV to support your career aspirations
• Updating your development plan with crucial areas to be addressed.

These outcomes are achieved by gaining clarity on:

• Spending quality time analysing your strengths, areas of enjoyment and where these overlap.
• Reflect on areas of enjoyment not identified as a strength.
• Considering challenges to your career; areas in need of work, improvement or avoidance.

The webinar on Wednesday 2 March provides suggestions and ideas on where to go for additional support with these suggestions, ideas to think about and gain clarity on strengths.

The webinar finished with action. Participants are challenged to commit to their next step, to capture what their intent is and give themselves a challenging timescale to complete it.

Host

Clare Hornsby has been in project management for over 20 years, mainly in defence and aerospace, supporting UK and international customers. She started as a project controller and has worked in governance & assurance, project delivery and IT programme management. Although mainly based in the northwest of England, she has also worked in East Anglia and has recently spent 2 years living and working in Saudi Arabia.
In 2019 Clare gained her APM Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) accreditation, and then started mentoring other women who would like to become Chartered.

Last year Clare was nominated to join the APM Women in Project Management SIG, and is part of a sub-group looking at mental health and wellbeing within project management, and women in particular. A few years ago she suffered from depression and anxiety, and until that point had never really understood mental illness and was more of a “stiff upper lip” kind of person. Project management is a naturally stressful profession and sometimes that, along with the pressures of everyday life, can be overwhelming and it’s important that we can talk about it, help ourselves and each other.

This event is suitable for professionals with any level of experience.
