Here’s what changed for you as a result of the session (according to you!), as reflected in the most common themes on the cue cards:

Your future seems more clear, focused and you’re motivated to work hard The paper airplane exercise was inspirational The Career Centre is helpful in achieving your goals

Storytelling, emotional intelligence and grit are essential to your personal and professional development There is immense power in supporting each other and growing together Building relationships is key to your journey

Remember to continue practicing, exploring career options and we’re always here to support and guide you along the way.

P.S. While it’s been so tempting to read your paper airplanes, we haven’t read your 7 life scenarios. Instead, we’ll be keeping them and returning it to you at the end of the program.
