Summer Career Series: Career Planning – Design Your Path with Purpose

About the session:

Feeling stuck or unsure about your next move? Explore practical models like IKIGAI and Squiggly Careers to reflect on what drives and motivates you. You’ll work through coaching-style questions to help align your career choices with your values, strengths, and aspirations. A creative and energising hour to reset your career direction.

This session is part of the South East Summer Career Series – a collection of interactive, one-hour virtual workshops designed to support your career development across health and care in the South East.  Each workshop is a stand-alone session, so you can join the ones most relevant to you, or attend the full series for a broader boost.  The sessions are practical, reflective, and designed to help you build confidence, develop your professional skills, and take your next step with purpose.

Come ready to engage – cameras on, mics ready!
