Dr. Janel Anderson, CEO of Working Conversations, will give a dynamic talk about incorporating the principles of usability and design into your career plans. Is your career flowing by design or by accident? For most of us, the answer is some of each.
Guests will come away with new insights on their careers and how to create a forward thinking career design for the next decade and beyond. STC members and guests, even if they are not TC professionals, are invited to register. Janel will be sharing material relevant to any profession.
New Location
We’re now meeting at the Outback Steakhouse instead of Champp’s.
