Workshop Summary
Career planning is one of the most important aspects that a professional should consider in case he is planning and aiming to have a successful career in the future. Without the proper knowledge to manage his career, pick out the nicest options and sort out the bad ones, know where to go and when the right time to grab opportunities, the likelihood of failure could be quite significant to ignore.
There are successful people who either accidentally or intentionally screws their career up and that wouldn’t have to be the case if they were taught how to manage their career properly and avoid such type of scenarios.
Some of the highlights of the workshop include the comparison between the possible network size that one could build from public and private schools. Another part of the workshop highlights also included brief but concise statements about possible areas of concentration. Is it best to focus on a particular field of specialty or not?
The workshop with Dr. Horner was actually successful considering and he succeeded in imparting to his audience a lot of his knowledge about the proper way of progressing high up in a career ladder.
Practical Application
Learning the things about the progress of one’s career is really important. One of the most important aspects of the workshop that could be applied practically is its provision for self-analysis and motivation. It is crucial that an individual knows how to assess himself, to identify his strengths and weaknesses and remember and be inspired by his past achievements to be able to progress further into his career.
The realizations from the workshop could also help in improving one’s networking skills. These days, highly updated networking skills are needed to be able to cope up with the fast changing job market.
Some minor aspects where the workshop realizations may include improved presentation and negotiation skills which may also be important in boosting one’s confidence and later on one’s career outcomes. Ultimately, the things learned from the workshop could help develop and improve one’s CV and portfolio in a comprehensive but very professional way.
Personal Impact
The learning and different realizations that I have learned from this workshop and I really think these could help me find my way up to the top and show to people who I really am. It has changed a lot of things in me including my perspective, my outlook in life and the way how I view things professionally.
I consider these things important now, thanks to Dr. Horner’s experiences that he shared to us. In the future, I would really be more than glad to do exactly the same thing that he did to me and to the rest of the crowd who attended and listened to his words of wisdom.
I know for a fact that experience is the best teacher and one could learn a lot from a man who is full of experience. I also have come to realize the importance of attending as many seminars like this one as I can for they refresh a man’s way of thinking, preventing it to be rigid and boxed.
Having a good job and a nice career cannot really be measured by profits alone, these could be more appropriately measured through the achievements and whether that career path fulfills my passion or not.
