First Steps for Self unLimited
Note: Price stated is in AUD and includes AU GST which is omitted from international orders.
The world as we know it has changed and it’s something none of us could see coming. For some, jobs dynamics have changed dramatically, or hours have reduced. For others, jobs may be on hold or have disappeared altogether.
And this shift in life dynamics has affected everyone. From those starting their working life in a very different world, through to retirees who are left wondering how they can still contribute.
It’s a time where people have, more than ever before, begun to look at their current life and make decisions as to what they want to gain from working. There’s never been a better time to re-evaluate what you want.
And no one can give you the answers to what you want to do. That’s something you need to work out for yourself, with a little guidance of course! This self-paced learning program encourages you to explore important questions, such as:
- What values are important to me in my workscape?
- What do I want to be known for?
- What value do I want to contribute and create in my workscape?
Over 120 days, you’ll receive access to resources and advice from Helen Palmer, creator of Self unLimited, that will help you shape and navigate your personal workscape.
The intention of Self unLimited is to take a fresh look at work. It’s about you AT work, and your thoughts ABOUT work. You’ll discover how to define yourself and your relationship to work, without referring to your job or employer.
Who is it for
This course is perfect for anyone from 16-86 who is looking for clarity for their work-life:
- Graduates (secondary or tertiary) starting their working life in a new world that’s full of uncertainty and new ways of working (that career advisors couldn’t have predicted and taught you about!)
- Experienced employees pondering significant changes, whether it be due to changes in job dynamics or an awakening to the possibilities of a different approach
- Retirees redefining their waking hours: helping on committees, being involved in local charities and social enterprises, sitting on Boards, mentoring, taking on part-time gigs
- Individuals adrift between gigs or in a state of unemployment and needing to rethink direction
What it covers
Self unLimited programs don’t give you the answers. Self unLimited is a framework for you to find the answers that are important to you. This learning program is a healthy mix of thinking and action that will create a fresh mindset and equip you with new tools. You’ll discover:
