OACM Networking Event and AGM: Workplace Rituals, Longevity and Legacy
Join us for an invigorating discussion with keynote speaker Lisa Taylor, President of Challenge Factory and the Centre for Career Innovation (see Lisa's bio here).
Workplace Rituals, Longevity and LegacyThis talk reveals the untapped opportunity to ritualize lifelong accomplishment and legacy building.
Key moments over the course of our lives and careers are often marked by ‘rituals’: the traditions or milestones that exist to acknowledge our accomplishments and connect us with others. We graduate, land our first job, receive our first promotion, get our first apartment…and we may go on to form our own families, have our own children. Yet, while many of life’s beginnings such as these are acknowledged by rituals, at some point our rituals start to be tied to the accomplishments of others – we celebrate our friends’ or family’s “firsts”, we attend award ceremonies of our mentees. What about life’s middles or transition points? This is where real life and real legacies are created: the other jobs we choose, the jobs we lose, the path we take, and the rich life we live in between the milestones. How is the changing landscape of work and longevity creating a need for new rituals – and how are new technologies disrupting our sense of accomplishment and connections?

“What is the Prospect of Work in Later Life?”
A Portfolio of Treasures.
Tuesday, 14 June 2016 from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM (EDT)
Mark Venning of Change Rangers and the Ontario Association of Career Management presented at our Annual General Meeting.
How do we plan for what’s next?
Canadians are well into a longevity revolution. How and how long we work has changed. Over the next 15 years we will engage differently with clients, shifting our career conversations as we adapt to a new socio-economic climate. Mark will ignite a lively discussion on the need for career management professionals to “up the conversation” and empower clients who are in their later-life career decisions and confronting those “what next moments?”
As a former International President of ACP International, Mark brings, as usual, a broader global perspective on this topic; and with his expertise as a career professional and his extensive study in the field of aging and longevity, he can help us to demystify the issues of work in later life.
