The Compass to Navigating Your Career and Finding Purpose

Speaker: Dr. Jane Horan, Author & Founder of the Horan Group

Abstract
In today’s rapidly changing work environment, concerns about AI, robots and the future of work, and the varying needs of a multigenerational workforce, conversations continue to focus on finding meaning and working for an organization or leader that is purpose driven. Using a mix of insights from business, psychology, philosophy, and leadership research, the session explores how to better understand yourself and your purpose. This interactive presentation provides research based questions and practical tools to reveal the what, why and how of meaningful work, dispelling the myths and connecting the dots to finding a purpose driven career. In this 2 hour session, students learn how to uncover strengths, interests and what matters most by looking backward to plan forward.
