is it for you?
yes! - if you can see any sense in this
café philosophy
! work-life issues are as important as any now
facing society ! cultural influences on career
development are at least as powerful as economic
ones ! work life is always interwoven with life
as partner, citizen and consumer ! we must attend
more to concerns for work-life balance ! career
learning has it roots in the toddler years, and
it must be re-learned - life-long ! career
learning is as demanding as any
learning ! careers-worker creativity will achieve
more than chasing ready-made targets ! effective
careers work needs a widening range of
helpers ! informal help is often more useful than
formal ! to be helpful in todays world
careers-work professionalism needs reform
