Career Journaling is an act of self-care.  It is also a way for our clients and our students to create professional pathways as they conduct a full appraisal of their strengths and experiences within their chosen field.  This workshop will present a strategically informed process to career journaling that will align with whatever format the user selects.  We will discuss suitable journaling apps and the benefits of free form notebook career journaling.  Finally, we will explore the use of prompts, doodles, and musings to develop a vision of inspired career goals, innovative ideas and collaborative relationships.
