What you'll learn


People don’t struggle because they lack information. They struggle because they’re carrying limiting beliefs about careers, identity and what’s possible. This holds true across every age group: students choosing their first direction, adults navigating uncertainty, newcomers building new beginnings and workers considering reinvention. Beliefs like: “It’s too late to change.” · “If I make the wrong choice, I’ll never recover.” · “Some opportunities just aren’t for people like me.”

Career Myth CardsWhen these beliefs are present, career development becomes harder, slower and in some cases impossible. This FREE recorded webinar takes a facilitation-based approach to sparking mindset shifts by creating space for reflection, curiosity and reframing. You will explore how challenging myths to create empowering beliefs can unlock engagement, motivation, confidence and meaningful action at any stage of a career journey.

The session highlights two complementary career myth tools that support reflective, facilitation-based practice, including CERIC’s Career Myth Buster quiz and SparkPath’s Career Myth Cards.

 

Recognize limiting beliefs that prevent meaningful career exploration and confidence

 

Explain why mindset change must occur before career information, planning or advising

 

Facilitate a belief-shifting conversation using curiosity-based questions and psychological safety

 

Apply different career myth tools to engage clients in reflective, transformative dialogue

 

And much more!

This recorded webinar originally ran in 2026 and offers valuables insights to career professionals. It is based in part on CERIC’s new Career Myth Buster quiz. Learn more about the quiz.
