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, from students choosing their first direction to adults navigating uncertainty, newcomers building new beginnings and workers considering reinvention.
When these beliefs are present, career development becomes harder and progress can stall. This FREE recorded webinar explores how reflection, curiosity and reframing can spark meaningful mindset shifts. You will discover how challenging career myths and creating empowering beliefs can unlock engagement, confidence, motivation and 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!
