New workshop: Professional Growth for Late-Career Librarians

¾«¶«´«Ã½

CHICAGO—¾«¶«´«Ã½Publishing eLearning Solutions announces an exciting new workshop, with Caitlin Williams. This workshop will last 90 minutes and take place at 2:30pm Eastern/1:30 Central/12:30 Mountain/11:30am Pacific on Thursday, May 30, 2019.

As your career winds down, you may find that you’re wondering what comes next. We spend a lot of time considering the best way to enter our professional field, but it’s equally important to consider our needs, concerns, and excitement for how we want to spend our late career.

In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll explore how to structure your late career and your transition to retirement. You’ve invested a lot in your work and your field over the years, and a thoughtful plan means much higher likelihood for a rewarding and enriching post-retirement life.

You will examine the unique talents that you’ve brought to your work and consider how you can continue to use them. What passions have you had on the back burner? What brings joy to your life currently? And what matters most to you right now? Come explore these questions and learn a process for crafting a lifestyle that reflects your most valued interests, curiosities, ideas, and ideals.
