*Dalene Kay Stangl, Carnegie Mellon UniversityKeywords: professional growth
We all experience bumps in our career. Whether it is paper rejection, boss conflict, project flops, or class mutinys, there are hurdles to be jumped and failures to be assessed. In each case it is not that the even happened but rather the attitude we adopt and the behaviors in which we engage that is most important. This session will discuss how to treat these situations as learning opportunities, opportunities for learning about one's self, opportunities for learning problem solving strategies, and opportunities for adding to our solutions arsenal, so that next time a bump arises we are better prepared.
