Use Your Story to Navigate Educational and Occupational Decisions and Work/Life Traumas
Are you supporting others who may feel lost in transition? Join us for a live demonstration of the Career Construction Interview to learn new techniques. Factors like automation, AI, and a global pandemic have given rise to a new world of work often described as VUCA: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. The Career Construction Interview (CCI; Savickas, 2005) is a transformational intervention that helps individuals explore educational and vocational options, navigate occupational transitions, and write the next chapter of their career or life story. Kevin Glavin, PhD, LPC, will demonstrate how to utilize the CCI to engage individuals in Life Designing Dialogs, empowering them to overcome challenges and navigate transitions.

Mark Franklin MEd, PEng, CMF, CareerCycles Practice Leader and President
I love to help people make well-informed & inspiring choices. After gaining over 10,000 hours of direct counselling experience, what I really want to do now is help society by helping the helpers influence their clients, students or employees more effectively with practical and inspiring storylistening tools. I enjoy using my strengths of creative collaboration, generating ideas, and storylistening. People often ask me about my career change from engineering to career development. Really I never left engineering! In my work leading CareerCycles and OneLifeTools I “redeployed” my systems thinking and structured problem solving skills to focus on the “wicked problems” of dissatisfaction and disengagement. I draw on my assets of a Masters in counselling psychology, my engineering background, and insights from thousands of stories from clients, Career Buzz guests, and the many helping professionals I’ve trained. Whether you’re a helping professional seeking new tools or a working professional seeking a better career, I look forward to helping you!
