OCDA invites you to participate in the 8th annual PDI and Awards Luncheon. This is the event of choice for regional career development professionals to enhance their skills, network with colleagues, recognize outstanding career development professionals, share best practices, and gain continuing education credits.
Keynote Speaker: Dick Bolles, Keepin' it Fresh!
Dick Bolles has, for over forty years now, revised and rewritten his famous book, What Color Is Your Parachute? A Practical Guide For Job-Hunters and Career Changers, every year. He works long and hard at keeping it fresh each year, and has been rewarded by the book being used by 10 million people, in 26 countries, and staying on best-seller lists all this time (#2 on BusinessWeek's best-seller list this year). In this interactive workshop he will apply the lessons he has learned, to the question of how we who do career counseling or career coaching can stay fresh in all that we do, year after year. As he is widely regarded as "a master teacher," this should be a memorable experience for all who attend.
Afternoon Workshop: Introduction to Dependable Strengths®, Beth Landy
The Dependable Strengths Articulation Process is a unique, peer-assisted, strengths-identification method developed by the pioneer of career and employment counseling, Dr. Bernard Haldane. It has been used successfully in a wide variety of settings, including schools, colleges, social services, workforce programs, businesses…and more. In this brief Introduction to Dependable Strengths®, you will experience components of the process to begin to uncover your own pattern of unique strengths. The more consistently you make life choices that play to your pattern of strengths, the greater your joy of living. What better way to “keep ourselves fresh,” than to reconnect with our own strengths and potential?!
