Best motivation to change careers: hate current job; financial rewards; power; greater glory; keep busy; unfulfilled ambition?
About this Event
Do you change careers because you seek more money, are in a job you dislike or due to a mid-life crisis? Do you restart careers because you are bored or eager for bigger challenges? What is the best motivation for a new focus & renewed energy: financial rewards; greater glory; something to keep busy; chasing an unfulfilled ambition? Do you need to acquire special skills to make career switches? Or is interest in a new career more important for success?
These issues will be discussed by a Silley Circuits panel: Annette Herfkens, a best selling author & former Wall Street banker; Brian Kinsella, a Wall Street banker & former army captain; Kurt Soderlund of Safe Water Networks & founder of healthcare consultancy; & Christine Loomis, a banker turned professional coach, who will moderate.
