- Are You Really Saying YES To Your Social Work Career Success? Virtual Workshop; Tuesday, January 17, 2023; 6:30pm-8:00pm
Is what we believe we want or say we want as social workers aligned with our personal and professional beliefs or actions?
Leadership is an inside job. Social workers are sometimes socialized in ways that can hinder our success. Often, we benefit greatly when we pause to evaluate our routines or dedicate time to self-reflection. This dedicated time allows us to celebrate our success and recognize beliefs that lead to patterns that can make success probable or harder to obtain.
As a woman in social work leadership, I know you are handling your business. I know you are getting things done. Strong Friend, it’s time to check in on yourself. As whole human beings, during this session, we will connect with our personal and professional beliefs, needs, and goals…together. We will celebrate how far we’ve come and the women we had to become to get us here.
