A career is a long time and yet looking back it appears to have been in the blink of an eye. If you have ever engaged in discussions with mentors or peer groups you may have heard the, "I wish I had ___". This course is a review of keeping you individually prepared and ready for all the various changes that will make your career. We start with where you are today and where you want to be? We discuss practical tips for professionals to be more prepared for changes that will certainly come over the course of your career. What are my career possibilities? The goal is that some of these ideas discussed will avoid more of the "I wish I had ____", and will convert them to, "I'm so glad I ____". We all have heard the maxim, "Failure to plan is planning to fail." We are planners by nature, let's plan our career and the career of those who report to us.
