This one-on-one mini-workshop would consist of an hour with the expert in your choice from a list of topics covered by those in the know. You can ask the questions you always wanted to, and based on your individual needs and professional situation, together you and your expert can make the cloudy clear, craft a plan, or create a list of priorities and goals.
This will be a free-of-charge event held daily during the lunch hour from 12:30-2:00 pm. There will be a sign-up sheet; first come, first served. Different experts will be available on different days. Possible alternative scheduling or small groups may be allowed at the discretion of the expert. |
