Are we giving kids the wrong career advice?
chevron_right
JP Michel, an organizational psychologist and author, teams up with Kate McBeath, a career practitioner in Australia and New Zealand, to dive into the flaws of traditional career advice. They argue that asking students what they want to be can create anxiety and limit possibilities. Instead, they promote a 'challenge mindset' where students focus on solving problems rather than fitting into job titles. JP also introduces challenge cards as a tool for meaningful exploration, encouraging early exploration and adapting to a rapidly changing job market.
