    Moving Clients from Mindless Myths
    to Meaning at Midlife

    Presented by Dr. Helen Harkness

    Helen Harkness, Ph.D. has focused on career coaching since the mid ‘70’s after she faced the reality that with a dime and a Ph.D. in English, she could get a cup of coffee. She is author of Best Jobs for the Future, The Career Chase, Don't Stop the Career Clock and Capitalizing on Career Chaos published by Davies Black and is currently completing the manuscript Moving from Mindless Myths to Meaning and Money at Midlife.

     

    At our September HCA Meeting via webinar, Helen will address the “Aging Myth” and how to overcome it as you coach clients that are midlife and beyond. Helen’s session will define current career myths, assumptions, realities and the dramatic changes that can happen. She will help us identify current realities that are shifting and the ones that we consider unchangeable.

     

    Helen has personally experienced these problems and has researched and developed a system to resolve them. She incorporated her company, Career Design Associates, Inc. in 1979. Since this time she has worked with more than 10,000 adults with major career issues.  Her goal is to provide clients with the process, the tools, insight, information and contacts to determine the career purpose they can pursue with passion.

     

    Attend the next HCA meeting and learn more about how we can move our clients from former mindless myths to what will provide meaning and purpose. All this is our very real challenge! She would highly value any information and questions prior to the meeting on career issues that you are experiencing personally and with your coaching clients. Email her directly at options@career-design.com.

     

    Helen is an active member of the World Future Society; she has coordinated the free career counseling at their annual conference for years. (Any career coach interested in attending can volunteer to provide career coaching and get their registration fee waived.)

            

    Currently, she is deeply involved in developing a program to help students in middle; high school and college gain insight on their strengths, talents, and possible matching careers and then to gain information and education to become successful and satisfied in their work life. For more information visit Helen’s Website at www.career-design.com

     

    In addition to Helen's talk on Moving Clients from Mindless Myths to Meaning at Midlife, Kim Specker will facilitate 15 minutes of learning on ICF Core Competency #6:  Powerful Questioning.

    This program has been ICF approved for 1.25 Continuing Coaching Education (CCE) credits.
