"Reaching Full
Potential in Your Career" - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 12:15-1:30 p.m.
One source of anxiety comes from not having answered basic questions about
the meaning and purpose of your career in the context of your life. This
manifests as a vague sense of tension, boredom, perhaps even "quiet desperation"
that arises from feeling held back, for one reason or another, from being all
that you can be. There is a sense of incompleteness - a sense that something
vital is missing although you may not consciously recognize what it is. In this
workshop, we will focus on and raise awareness of your own unique purpose and
how it relates to your legal career. Come join us for this workshop at the LAP
office at 415 - 1080 Mainland Street, Vancouver.
