While imagining our future careers and selves can be exhilarating and satisfying, our imagining can be coloured by anxiety, doubt...and not infrequently, fear. In this 60 minute online session we are going to explore the sources of career fear, understand when and why anxiety can be useful (even good), and learn tactics for managing emotions in our career constructively, and for our benefit.
