​In this session, we are joined by Laura Walker, a psychologist and mid life career development expert.  We’ll start by exploring as a group the main factors driving your career currently, and what you find most fulfilling.

​We’ll compare that to Laura’s research findings, and close by spending some time exploring how you can make some adjustments and changes based on what we learn from the session.

• ​Spend time meeting in small groups
• ​Insights based on practical, evidence based research
• ​Time to reflect and consider what possible changes you can make currently to shift towards a more fulfilling lifestyle
