RECALCULATING: NAVIGATE YOUR CAREER AND ORGANIZATION THROUGH THE CHANGING WORLD OF WORK

Imagine that moment when you’re driving a car and you make a wrong turn or miss
an exit. Your GPS will glitch for a few seconds and then a robotic voice will say:

“Recalculating.”

Thanks to the global pandemic, it’s as if every working adult on the planet is in our cars, hearing this voice, all at the exact same time. Even if the pandemic did not lead you to a major transition, you’ve likely spent the past 11 months making readjustments and pivots to keep up with the rapid pace of change in the world today. We are all Recalculators now.

Recalculating is no doubt a challenge—but it’s also an opportunity. That is the message of New York Times bestselling author Lindsey Pollak’s timely, inspirational and action-oriented presentation based on her brand new book, Recalculating.

SUCCESSFUL MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS:
A JOINT LEARNING EXPERIENCE

According to the Association for Talent Development, 75 percent of executives point to mentoring as playing a key role in their careers.

This program is designed for mentors and mentees to attend together to explore a wide range of mentoring options such as micro-mentoring, small group pods, reverse mentoring (a.k.a. co-mentoring), personal advisory boards and more. Lindsey will also share best practices for both mentors and mentees to ensure every interaction is valuable for both participants.
