Our October webinar topic……
What if your job search isn’t just something to survive—but an adventure that could lead somewhere better than you expected?
Join Craig Foster, Executive Director of PurposeWorks, for How Thinking Like A Backpacker Will Help Your Job Search!, a practical and encouraging look at navigating one of life’s most challenging transitions.
Using the lessons of a backpacking adventure, Craig will show you why successful job seekers need a clear destination, the right “gear,” a solid plan, good guides, and people traveling alongside them. You’ll learn how to clarify your job target, communicate your unique value, identify target companies, reach the hidden job market, navigate AI-driven hiring, and get closer to the hiring manager.
Just as importantly, you’ll discover practical ways to handle rejection, maintain confidence and resilience, and keep moving when the trail gets difficult. And you’ll be challenged to think beyond simply finding a job toward finding work that fits who you are and where you’re going.
Teaser: Your job search is a journey—come discover whether you have the right destination, gear, plan, guides, and strategy to reach it.

Our November webinar topic…
Have you ever finished a day of work feeling completely drained?
Or experienced the opposite—when you’re so energized by what you’re doing that time flies and you don’t want to stop?
There’s a reason for that.
Leadership expert Patrick Lencioni developed a powerful model called The 6 Types of Working Genius that helps us understand why certain kinds of work bring us joy and energy, while others leave us frustrated and exhausted.
Whether you’re actively searching for a job, considering a career change, or simply wondering what kind of work would be most fulfilling, understanding your Working Genius can be a game changer.
Join Working Genius expert Will Graham as he introduces this practical model and explores how discovering your natural gifts can help you make more informed career decisions, avoid work that consistently drains you, and pursue opportunities where you’re more likely to thrive.
Your next career move shouldn’t just be about finding a job. It should be about finding work that fits the way you’re naturally wired.
