Career Development: Integrating What You Do With Who You Are

You will spend much of your life in the pursuit of and doing "work". Work provides you with a livelihood, a career, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. The work you do affords you the lifelong opportunity to learn new behaviors and skills and have new experiences that connect you with other people and society at large.

Integrating "what you do with who you are" means aligning your work or professional life with your personal values, beliefs, and identity. It involves bringing your authentic self to the workplace and incorporating your unique strengths, passions, and interests into your work.

When you integrate what you do with who you are, work no longer feels like a separate or disconnected aspect of your life. Instead, it becomes an extension of your identity, a way to express your values and contribute to a larger purpose. You are more likely to experience a sense of fulfillment and purpose in your work, and to feel more engaged and motivated to make a difference.

So, the question becomes -- can you approach work from the perspective of an ongoing journey to maintain awareness of what is going on inside you while coming to terms with what in your outer experience nurtures you and what you must move through or beyond?

This course will facilitate you through a process that can lead you to have a more meaningful, authentic, purposeful, satisfying, and fulfilling life.
