Career Practice Exchange: For Independent Career Professionals

This monthly session is part of Stronger Minds at Work and is designed for career coaches, consultants, and other career professionals who work independently with clients.

Would you value having other career professionals to exchange ideas with?

Are you looking for new approaches, research, or practices that could strengthen your work with clients?

Would it help to have a place to talk openly about the challenges and successes of running an independent career practice?

Join us on the fourth Thursday of each month for an informal learning and exchange session for independent career professionals.

When you work independently, there is rarely a team down the hall to compare notes with. Career Practice Exchange creates a regular opportunity to learn from one another, discover new ideas, and talk with colleagues who understand the work.

Each one-hour session has two parts:

✅ 30-minute Learning Exchange: Before each meeting, participants receive a short article, video, or other resource exploring an interesting development, idea, or practice in the career field. We spend the first half hour exchanging reactions, perspectives, and ideas.

✅ 30-minute Practice Exchange: The second half is an open conversation about our work. Bring a question, challenge, success, new idea, or something you are experimenting with in your practice.

Topics might include career coaching approaches, job-search strategies, AI, working with clients, new research and technology, building and managing an independent practice, or simply something on which you would value another professional's perspective.

The format of the meetings will be strong in content and light in spirit.

The purpose is to learn from one another, strengthen our own practices, make useful connections, and uncover opportunities to collaborate.

Join us for an informal, collegial, and practical monthly conversation.
