Meaningful Work, Meaningful Lives

Course Description

Balancing the demands of our work and the responsibilities of our personal lives is a difficult task. MeaningfulWork, Meaningful Lives: A Career/Life Planning Workshop is designed to help individuals more effectively and proactively manage these often conflicting demands.

This 2-day program is highly interactive and experiential and will focus on three main topics.
• First, participants will complete a broad range of self-assessment activities to help them clarify their values, goals, interests, and aspirations with respect to both their careers and personal lives.
• Second, participants will explore the changing nature of work and identify ways of working that may lead to greater feelings of balance and fulfillment.
• Third, participants will use the concepts and knowledge gained to develop a career strategy that incorporates their values and priorities in both their work and personal lives.

The course will be taught by Dr. Brad Harrington, Executive Director of the Center for Work & Family and Professor in the Carroll School of Management at Boston College. Brad is the co-author of Career Management and Work Life Integration: A Guide to Meaningful Work and a Meaningful Life which was published in 2007 by Sage.
