Why Now Is The Time to Consciously Craft Your Research Career
Disconnected. Directionless. Burned out.
The last few years have been a challenge, and so many are struggling.
One big reason why? Everything about how we show up and do our work has changed—but for many, our definitions of ambition, success, and fulfillment haven’t.
For some, being successful is about “getting ahead” or “moving up.” But the truth is, success is deeply personal. Sometimes what we need isn’t the next rung on the career ladder, but rather, intentionally slowing down to focus on what matters most.
So where do we look when the next step isn't so clear?
We’ve invited leadership coach Roberta Dombrowski to help:
Assess where you are in your current career journey
Explore the relationship you have—and want to have—with your work
Identify the patterns that influence how you show up at work
She’ll share what she’s learned from coaching leaders through this process, as well as from her own experience leading UX research teams.
Roberta will introduce you to a tool designed to identify the patterns that influence how you show up at work: The Conscious Career Wheel, part of her brand-new career planning guide, Consciously Crafting Your Career Path (discount code UXRGUILD valid from April 14-30, 2024).
You’ll leave feeling energized to intentionally shape a career you can thrive in—one that is aligned with what matters most to you, not just what everyone else is doing.
