March 27, 2017 10:30 - 12:00 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:2
Presenter(s): Silvia Di Blasio
Abstract: The Gig Economy is more than a new trend, it is defining the future of what we understand as “career”, the economy model and the society itself. Are we equipped as career & life coaches to help our clients (and ourselves) to navigate the pros and cons of this new model? How would the Gig economy affect our own profession? How can we provide support and understand this trend better? The Gig Economy relates closely to the Chaos Theory of Careers, in which the old model of Skills, Abilities, Knowledge and Experience no longer define success or path. Join me in this interactive presentation where we will share alternative resources, ideas, and projects.

Engaging Millennials-The Know How
March 28, 2017 13:00 - 14:00 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:2
Presenter: Jennifer Fraser- CEO of C2Careers
Abstract: These days, it seems that every time you seek information on the workplace, you discover yet another article about intergenerational conflict and frankly, the author confesses, the fault appears to lie with the Millennials. What’s not being talked about is that Millennials are at a time in their lives of immense brain development and plasticity. They are entering the workforce at time when employers could benefit greatly by training and treating them the right way. While technology has shaped Millennials in such a way that they form a different tribe; technology has also shown neuroscientists that the brains of Millennials, as seen on fMRI and MRI scanners, have powerful contributions to make if allowed. With added knowledge from neuroscience, career practitioners can be excellent guides for Millennials and for those who are smart enough to hire them.
