The successful GIS professional navigates a variety of environments and groups throughout their career. Being successful requires regular assessments of your strengths and weaknesses and using that information to maximize existing skills and level up the areas that can be improved.

This workshop will provide hands on applications to both identify and strengthen one’s individual skills. Through hands on activities participants will explore the relationship between the individual and the larger group. Strategies will be provided for navigating how to first identify your skills and then how to apply these skills for success. We will also explore the definition of what it means to be successful. A major part of success is the ability to plug into different groups including the workplace, professional societies, and people external to your area of expertise. The two-way nature of mentorship will also be explored.

Cost: One full-day or one half-day workshop is included with full conference registration. The cost to add a second half-day workshop is $100 member/$125 nonmember.
