Simon Hamm has very kindly asked me to give a talk on 'Career Success and Succession Planning' to the London Chapter of the ACPI. The date is the 28th June at the new IoD (123). I'm hoping to talk a little about some of our ideas and thoughts around what makes for good careers guidance and hopefully have some time to talk about how 4G fits into this picture. The following quotes really sum up our thinking and stance on the issue;
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with objects it loves.” Carl G. Jung
“The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.” George Bernard Shaw
“Work and Play are words used to describe the same thing under different circumstances.” Mark Twain
The event is open to ACPI members and non-members, so if you're in the area, it would be good to meet you. If you want to see what other people are thinking about career's guidance, have a look at Curt Rosengren's excellent Occupational Adventure and his post on Intuition as a career guidance tool. Another site to have a look at is the Being Bold Blog which is written by Ian Christie. Have a look at Ian's post on the Weekly Workout Log which looks like a good idea. Finally, we can't forget our own post on Stuart Lindenfield's up and coming book, Confident Networking for Career Success and Satisfaction.
