Taking Ownership of Your Career Growth Virtual Workshop

Description

What Does Your Next Career Chapter Look Like?

As part of SHRM-Atlanta’s November Career Development Month, join Dr. Lawrence Henderson, author of You Can’t Grow If You Don’t Let Go, for an interactive workshop designed to help you take ownership of your professional growth and plan your next move with intention.

Through guided reflection you’ll explore your strengths, identify opportunities for growth, and develop actionable steps toward your next career goal. Whether you’re ready to advance, considering a career transition, or looking for renewed direction, this session will help you approach your professional development with greater clarity and confidence.

You’ll also have opportunities to participate in upskilling breakout sessions led by industry experts, offering practical insights and strategies to strengthen your skills, expand your knowledge, and prepare for what’s next in your career.

Key Takeaways/Outcomes 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify at least one recurring task or decision they are holding onto, using a career version of the Dependency Map. They will classify it as a true risk or something they have simply held onto, and select one to transfer with defined guardrails.
• Apply the Ownership Language Shift by rewriting at least two passive career statements. Each rewrite names the outcome, the constraints, the plan, and how progress will be confirmed.
• Use the 90 Second Reset and the Four Question Coaching Cadence to prepare for a high stakes career conversation and to coach a peer without rescuing them.
• Construct a 30, 60, 90 day Let Go Growth Plan that names one behavior to stop, one system to install, and one leadership skill to practice and demonstrate.

Come ready to reflect, build new skills, and invest in what’s next.
