Welcome from the Maryland Career Development Association

Welcome to the 2016 Maryland Career Development Association Conference, “Meaningful Career, Meaningful Life.” As career development professionals, we know that when our work has meaning, our lives are enriched. Through our conference presentations, we hope to equip you with new knowledge and tools to bring this meaning to our clients, our students, and ourselves. During our Thursday evening keynote session Marilyn Maze, Executive Director of the Asia Pacific Career Development Association, will help us to explore how Asian perspectives on meaningful careers can inform our practices. On Friday, David Reile, President-Elect of the National Career Development Association, will ask us to consider our own values as we help our clients explore what provides meaning and motivation. We have a great Friday prepared for you! Twelve break-out sessions and four round tables offer topics as diverse as positive psychology, mindfulness, social media, and helping our clients with disabilities. As you review the schedule, please note that clock hours for NBCC are clearly indicated. Those interested in maximizing their clock hours will find multiple sessions in each time slot.

We hope this conference provides you with a meaningful experience that not only informs you, but helps you to build meaningful connections with your colleagues. To a meaningful life! Best, Sue Gordon, MS, NCC, LCPC President, Maryland Career Development Association MCDA.president@MCDcareers.org

Pacific Career Development Association

Maze LinkedIn Profile

1.0 NBCC Clock Hours From a Career Development perspective, Asian and Pacific countries include amazing variety, with a full spectrum of service levels. Most of these countries are facing a sudden awakening to a new need for career development services, unlike the US which has a 100-year history of providing these services. Most Asian countries have no doubt that a meaningful career leads to a meaningful life. They passionately believe that helping people find meaningful careers will improve their lives. Looking at the solutions found by these countries may provide us with fresh eyes to see solutions to local problems. This session will begin with information about the Asia Pacific region based on presentations by almost 20 countries at the annual Asia Pacific Career Development Association conferences. Participants will then examine local issues related to career planning services and brainstorm possible solutions. Marilyn Maze, Ph.D., is the Treasurer of the National Career Development

Association and the Executive Director of the Asia Pacific Career Development

Association. She formerly worked for ACT, Inc., and was one of the developers

of the ACT Profile, a computerized career guidance program that includes

career planning. She is a researcher with expertise in career development and

Helping Clients Thrive Amidst Career Challenges and Crises (9:45-11:00 AM)

Room: Maryland/State

1.25 NBCC Clock Hours Significant watershed points in career journeys can involve responses to a sudden crisis (demotion, job loss, performance failure) or protracted periods of personal challenge (loss of meaning, burnout, indecision about future direction). Career Counselors can help clients use these as opportunities to thrive rather than merely survive, and press on towards discovery of more meaningful engagement with the worlds of vocation/calling, employment, and personal fulfillment. The presenter will draw upon his own human resource management, counseling and career coaching experiences, including ways to help clients surmount organizational obstacles such as toxic supervision/peers, job classification/compensation issues, grievance/appeal processes, and recruitment/selection hurdles. Gain practical information and learn techniques that enhance your ability to assist clients amidst career and job crises. Presenter: Robert Castle, M.S.; Renewal Counseling Center, Inc.

Robert Castle is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 6+ years of clinical experience in mental health, dual diagnosis, employee assistance, family/couples counseling and career coaching services.

His background in human resource management, along with licensed mental health counseling helps provide a unique and useful perspective. He holds an M.S. in

Counseling Psychology from Loyola College, and an M.S. in Business from the University of Baltimore. Castle LinkedIn Profile

Find the Success You Deserve! (9:45-11:00)

Room: Columbia West

Deeply rooted within us all are beliefs that have formulated into many components of who we are as a person. How we think and portray ourselves can be divided into Self- Confidence (the “DO” part of oneself) and Self-Esteem (the “BE” part of oneself). As career coaches we need to know what a client’s beliefs are concerning his or her own self-confidence versus self-esteem. Discover how these two variables can lead to self-sabotage or be addressed to create a more positive life.

Page 10

All of us could be sabotaging our own success, without even knowing it . . . even with our talent, intellect, knowledge and experience we often settle for less. Experience enlightening exercises and discussions that help identify the conspirator within that keeps us from all we could be. Learn powerful change techniques we can use to help our clients (and ourselves!) conquer self-limiting beliefs. Everyone deserves happiness and success, and a Meaningful Career, Meaningful Life! - learn how to achieve it! Presenter: Karen Boyd, M.S.; Owner, KCB Consulting

What Everyone Needs to Know: Strategies to Help Students Launch Meaningful

Careers and Live Meaningful Lives (9:45-11:00 AM)

Room: Columbia Center

1.25 NBCC Clock Hours The building of partnerships and collaborative work is nothing new to many industries. But quite often, higher education institutions struggle to find a way to break down walls and maintain cross department service delivery methods that thrive in collaboration and teamwork. Once plagued by this “silo-effect” of traditional university service delivery models, Penn State Fayette, the Eberly Campus has turned the page in the history of higher education. In an effort to provide a truly student-centered environment for undergraduate success, the Campus launched the Student Success Center and recently renovated a space to do just that. The Campus realized that it’s up to each institution, to not only define success, but to provide opportunities, services and resources to support students as they work to achieve it. Over a four year period, the team built a service delivery model that not only meets the needs of the institution but also provides meaningful growth opportunities for students. Through personalized academic advising sessions, career coaching services, and academic coaching programs like peer-to-peer tutoring, the Center has created an environment for meaningful development of the student as a learner and leader in his or her personal and professional lives. Hear about the best practices, the evolving delivery model, and team approach for operating a Student Success Center at a small rural campus located in an economically depressed area that led to this successful model. Learn the effective strategies Gina, Steve, and their colleagues used to develop and grow a unit that is communicative, action-oriented, flexible, and motivated – the key ingredients to support student success. Develop a plan to help you and your team, develop, grow, and maintain effective cross-department partnerships within the university setting.

The Internet and Job-Seekers: Providing Value for Clients and Exposure for Organizations (9:45-11:00 AM) Room: Columbia East 1.25 NBCC Clock Hours Internet-based services can provide value for job seekers while efficiently growing organizations. Webinars can bring people together in an anonymous support group format. Using Career Connections--Metro DC Association for Talent Development’s Webinar series as an example, we will discuss how you can design and facilitate Webinars. Online technology also provides value. Be The Change Career Consulting uses an online "Career Design Studio" to serve low-income clients. Components include a task management system, online assessments, job-seeking strategies, and progress tracking using a "gameification" approach. These examples will be used to help you decide whether or how to provide services online. You may have heard it said that if you love your job then you will never work a day in your life. That is absolutely the truth! However, advances in technology mean that many of us are never out of touch with our workplace.

Page 12

These same technology advances—many of which are easy-to-use, low-cost, and readily accessible, can be used to benefit job seekers, so that they can achieve meaningful careers and live meaningful lives. Using two case studies (one association and one private practice), attendees will learn the benefits and pitfalls of providing services on Internet-based platforms. The presentation will include insights into the following questions: In what circumstances can Internet-based services add value to job seekers? What questions do I need to ask to determine if Internet-based services are right for my organization? How can Internet-based services increase my exposure, and or revenue? Presenter: Ronda Ansted, DM, MSW, GCDF; CEO/Senior Career Consultant, Be The Change Career Consulting

Concurrent Breakout Sessions II (11:15-12:30 PM)

Career Management Counseling: Helping Clients Succeed On The Job (11:15-12:30 PM) Room: Maryland/State 1.25 NBCC Clock Hours For their careers to be meaningful, most clients want to feel like they are not just doing a job, but that they are thriving in their work. Whether it is a first job, a post-retirement gig or a big promotion, clients who feel that they have the skills they need to be successful are going to experience greater contentment and happiness. Many clients are miserable at work, and hope that finding a new job will make them happier. Although a new job may be the solution for some clients, there is an important subset of clients whose workplace issues follow them from job to job. Supporting clients in the effort to achieve their highest level of career success is the goal of all career counselors. In order for our profession to fully serve our clients, we can’t wave goodbye when a client starts a new job. We need to ensure that the client has skills to both get and keep a job. Career management counseling is designed to help this struggling group learn the workplace skills they need to succeed right where they are. Learn about a framework to identify clients who can benefit from career management counseling, and discover tools to get them on the road to success.

Vocational Evaluation for Individuals with Disabilities: What is It? And How Can It Be

Useful for Your Clients? (11:15-12:30 PM)

Room: Columbia West

All people have worth, can contribute to society, and can attain a desirable quality of life. Career assessment is necessary and valuable, but is often difficult to access by persons with disabilities. By participating in a vocational evaluation, people who face career and quality of life challenges can become more self-determined, can advocate for themselves, and can realize positive career, vocational, and transition planning. Mostly known in workforce development and vocational rehabilitation settings, vocational evaluation has mounds of anecdotal evidence that it is useful and effective for people; studies have shown that vocational evaluation was an important, if not the most important, factor for eventual employment and higher wages for this population. Many people who face career development challenges or barriers may not have had previous access to career assessment or counseling that foster career development; this is especially true of people with disabilities. Over the past eight decades, an alternative, cost effective, and meaningful assessment option emerged to assist these individuals: vocational evaluation. Certified Vocational Evaluatiors incorporate interests, skills, abilities, and disabilities to help people with disabiltities determine suitable vocational and educational goals, also assessing for accommodations, assistive technology, and community resources. Learn about the framework, tools, strategies, and best practices for providing career assessment services to individuals with disabilities.

Lessons From the Down-Under: Motivating the "Yes, but" and the "Mad, Sad, and

Bad" Clients (11:15-12:30 PM)

Room: Columbia Center

1.25 NBCC Clock Hours Our clients are looking to find meaning in their lives through acquisition of a career/job no matter what their age or stage. In this session, we’ll take a look at how career professionals can reach and motivate clients to achieve meaning despite their challenges and resistance to the very help they need. Through lessons learned from unemployed job seekers during the recent recession, we'll address best practices in instruction through the use of social media, video clips, internet resources, and current trends in career resources technology. Come and exchange ideas and address hot issues of the day including client overqualification, the need for technical skills, the aging population, and electronic job searching. Learn strategies designed to engage clients who are reluctant, resistant, and similarly challenged. Drawing from my experience in working with the unemployed who are required to attend my workshop, I will share effective techniques to use in group career and job search sessions, and how these also can be used within individual consultations. Within the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to apply these techniques to your own situations, and to work with each other in creating new strategies to take back home and to the workplace. Leave the session with a list of "25 Ways to Get Your Clients to Eat Their Veggies". Presenter: Kathy Worgul, M.Ed.; Workforce Trainer and Consultant, State of Maryland

Kathy Worgul has a Master of Education, Counselor Education, and has been teaching and motivating her clients throughout her career in both private and public settings.

Previous employers include The University of Texas in Austin, The George Washington University, Eastern University, and Delaware County Community College.

Practicing Mindfulness in Career Counseling (11:15-12:30 PM)

Room: Columbia East

1.25 NBCC Clock Hours Research shows that people who take care of themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically are more successful. A movement of mindfulness has made its way into today’s business culture as a way to slow down and embrace living in the moment, and as a result, creativity ensues. Integrating mindfulness into the career development process allows clients to increase emotional intelligence, and live authentically in their personal and professional lives. Clients benefit from the practice of mindfulness and self-exploration in order to identify values that will guide them daily at work and at home; daily living then turns into a lifetime of living. A career counselor who can guide clients in embracing the best vision they have for themselves will not only be assisting clients to find meaningful careers, but to live a meaningful life. Learn about mindfulness and a holistic approach to providing psycho-education to clients for overall wellness in life. Practice facilitating 5 mindfulness activities and learn about resources for implementation in individual or group counseling sessions.

Round Table: A Cause-Focused Career: Finding Fulfilment in Fighting the Good Fight

(11:15-12:30 PM)

Room: Baltimore/Washington

Pat Hatch believes that her career path may offer others insight as to how immersing oneself in a cause, in her case the needs and enormous potential of refugees and immigrants, can provide life focus and open doors to increasingly responsible positions, allowing meaningful, enduring and (hopefully) sustainable impact on society. Tracking and discussing this single career from community volunteer to founding Director of a non-profit organization, then public employee program manager, and finally national program Director may illustrate the potential inherent in a cause-focused career. Discussion will review the variety of causes that might drive a career, stress the importance of volunteering to learn about a cause from the grassroots level, and explore various outlets for cause-driven careers including private non-profit organizations, public services positions, and faith-based organizations. Gain insight into the life-fulfilling potential of career paths fueled by faith-inspired passion to remedy a societal problem.

Facilitator: Patricia Hatch, Presbyterian Church in America

A native of Buffalo, New York, Patricia Hatch graduated from the State University of New York College at Buffalo with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. She taught in schools in Buffalo, New York; Monterey, California; and Seoul, Korea. After several years as a church and community volunteer with refugees, in 1981, she founded a Howard County non-profit organization known as FIRN - the Foreign-born Information and Referral Network - which annually provides services to several thousand refugees and immigrants from more than 80 nations. She served as FIRN’s Director from 1981 through 1997.

In 1998 Pat accepted a position as Community Liaison for the Maryland Office for New Americans (MONA) and she became Program Manager of MONA (later renamed MORA – the Maryland Office for Refugees and Asylees) in 2001, serving in that position until her retirement in 2011. In 2014, at age 70, Pat emerged from retirement to accept the newly-created position of Refugee and Immigrant Ministry Director for Mission to North America of the Presbyterian Church in America, a national denomination encompassing approximately 1,700 churches in the US and Canada. It is her joy to continue in that position through the present. Hatch LinkedIn Profile

Round Table: Accountability Without Conflict! (11:15-12:30 PM)

Room: Baltimore/Washington

Many of us choose our careers based on a desire to make a difference in the world around us. The feeling that we are impacting our society through our career adds meaning to our lives. Making a difference depends on our ability to meet our goals. Accountability is vital in the process of accomplishing those goals. Conflict however, can serve as a distraction, causing us to lose track of what we're attempting to do, and why it matters. Decreasing conflict helps keep us focused so that we can remember the meaning of what we do when we go to work every day. Discussion will include practical techniques for holding others accountable without creating conflict, three purposes of accountability, reasons that accountability often leads to conflict, how accountability can result in a win-win for those holding and being held accountable, and techniques for increasing accountability while decreasing conflict in the work place. The result is positive employee relationships, which translate to an improved client experience. Facilitator: Emily Livelsberger, B.A. Psychology, Communication that Clicks

Prior to becoming a communications strategist, Emily Livelsberger facilitated group and individual therapy as an addictions counselor. While documenting clients’ struggles in the black and white terms of sobriety, Emily found it exceedingly important that they experienced progress within themselves in areas of their choosing. Now, as a communications strategist, Emily works with technical people through the process of developing interpersonal skills for the purpose of career advancement.

She’s far from famous, but delights in the process of self-expression through singing and playing guitar. Emily also enjoys camping, night swimming, and embarking on spontaneous adventures. Emily drinks a decent amount of coffee. It didn’t start until she worked at the drug rehab center, but don’t worry, she accepts full responsibility for any caffeine dependence she may have developed. Regular or decaf, even tea is fine. What makes a great cup of coffee is great company and conversation to go with it. Livelsberger LinkedIn Profile

Concurrent Breakout Sessions III (2:00-3:15 PM)

Hope: Belief plus Action equals Career Success (2:00-3:15 PM)

Room: Maryland/State

The concept of hope is integral to fostering well-being. Research overwhelming shows how cultivating belief in one’s career potential and then providing clear action-orientated tools to make this a reality can increase an individual’s career happiness. Hope has been shown to shift internal perspective about possibilities and strengths, encourage expanded potential thinking to discover unrealized career pathways, and enrich work experiences through increased positivity. By focusing on the role of hope in career development, we will first provide a foundation on this specific area of positive psychology by drawing on research conducted by various leaders in the field. Learn how to apply these concepts to help clients/students cultivate a strong, resilient, future-oriented belief, as well as develop practical, goal-oriented strategies to help them move these beliefs from ideas to reality. Discover specific tools, strategies, and resources that can be integrated into existing career development approaches for application with individual clients, incorporation into workshops/presentations/lectures, and use in your own life.

Career Development: Paths of the Past, Experiences of the Future (2:00-3:15 PM) Room: Columbia West

1.25 NBCC Clock Hours Career development isn’t about where we work or what we do, it’s about the how we experience the work, what we gain from the work, and how we transfer the skills we develop from one experience to the next. Said best by B.J Neblett, “We are the sum total of our experiences. Those experiences – be they positive or negative – make us the person we are, at any given point in our lives. And, like a flowing river, those same experiences, and those yet to come, continue to influence and reshape the person we are, and the person we become. None of us are the same as we were yesterday, nor will be tomorrow.” Learn about a fun, novel perspective of career development focused on experiential learning and development rather than prescriptive career pathing models. Hear about best practices in career development that point to the importance of experiential learning for professional and leadership development, as cited by the Center for Creative Leadership. Rather than emphasizing specific transitions and career moves between work roles, jobs, and functions, placing emphasis and designing careers based on experiences and transferable skills broadens employee perspectives and creates space for finding value in every position and situation. By the end of this session, you will be able to apply new career management concepts to design an experiential approach to your career counseling products and services that serves the unique needs of your clients and their career journeys, while also satisfying the needs of their organization.

Finding Meaning in Social Networking (2:00-3:15 PM)

Room: Columbia Center

1.25 NBCC Clock Hours Social Networking has affected change in many areas of our lives. It's the way many of us stay connected to friends, family, and colleagues. Social Networking has also changed the way organizations do business. Many organizations, including MCDA, are using Social Networking as a venue for attracting others to them. Is there a viable company that does not have a FaceBook page? Or a LinkedIn Company page? That does not Tweet? Recruiters use Social Networking to locate new hires; Job Seekers use it to find jobs. Yet many Career Counselors hesitate to embrace it. LinkedIn found that Social Networking is the fastest growing source of quality hires globally, having grown by 73% in the past four years. Jobvite discovered that job seeking is now a 24/7 activity, with job seekers using their mobile phones during their commute, while on the job, and even in the bathroom! Learn about the power of Social Networking and why it's important to add it to your skill set. Gain insights for successfully bridging the digital gap into the world of social networking and get an overview of the top social networks. Hear about online resources for the job search, and ideas for developing a well-received online reputation.

Room: Columbia East

By exploding the myths of the now defunct employment contract, this program will aid the job seeker and/or careerist, at any age, in understanding the changing nature of the job market and what can be done to maximize their personal and professional lives in the work environment of the 21st century.
