No two careers are the same and our paths may twist and turn as we carry our passions towards out goals. However, those detours don’t need to come at the expense of our long-term goals and achievements! In fact, they may be some of the most rewarding and challenging experiences. Thinking through and making a game plan during these seasons to make sure our long-term goals stay on track is incredibly important if we want to meet those goals. In this seminar, we plan to discuss the various challenges and experiences that SAME professionals in the private or public sector may face throughout their career and approaches or tactics that will help them maintain their trajectory to becoming a member of the Academy of Fellows – an aspiration that should be shared by all members as the pinnacle of professional achievement and indication of commitment to the profession, both now and in the future.
