While this signals a major problem, both employers and employees are uncertain how to solve it. Both sides want the same thing: to be happy and engaged in their job. In this first course of the series, you will learn the steps to create a foundation for getting the career you want. This course will take participants through guided lectures and exercises to improve their career and experience in their current job. Practitioners will identify their ideal day and values and determine how they can utilize these to elevate their career.
