The
Seminar is about:

that allow you to flourish as yourself, as part of the team, the school
- Being a "teacher" of young people and
of adults in whatever stages of life
- Being, willy-nilly, a counselor
- Responding to people's pain, need, joy, confidence,
suspicion, trust, mistrust, anger, health, pathology, generosity,
self-absorption, tendency to delight you, hassle you, drive you crazy
- Making choices about your career: what emphasis,
roles, places, tasks, opportunities
- Handling isolation, conscience, overwork, caring
till it's too much, limits and knowing them, possibilities and pursuing
them
- Unscrambling some of those words and images that
can lock us in: "up the ladder". . . "Lateral move".
. . "feeling stuck ". . . "go back to" . . . "go
forward to" . . ."grow" . . . "challenge"
. . . "management". . . "just a" . . . "still
doing this". . .
- Figuring out your role(s) to all those people
and groups in your professional and personal life
- Living a life that includes interesting, engaging
work and the personal fulfillment you seek beyond career.
During the 2 1/2 day of the seminar, participants will have the chance
to reflect, share, plan, explore, hear others' news and stategies and
offer their own. There will be opportunity for specific planning based
on participants special interests and hopes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only those should apply for this seminar who
can arrange to arrive on time and stay the full span of the seminar.
We build this seminar together and develop it together, start to finish.
Thus there should be no question of someone not being there to start
the process, or leaving early, as each person's active part in creating
the seminar's content and tone is crucial. That is really the point
and meaning of the seminar.
Participants should assume 1 1/2 hours to get by cab from Philadelphia
airport to Sugarloaf, and the same from Sugarloaf to the airport at
the end. They should assume a one hour cab drive from 30th Street Railroad
Station in Philadelphia to Sugarloaf, and the same for the return. Thus
try to plan plane arrivals in Philadelphia not later than 10:30 a.m.,
Wednesday, or plane departures not earlier than 2 p.m., Friday. International
and West Coast people are encouraged to come in Tuesday evening, February
4th to the Conference Center. Additional cost: $115.00. We will send
directions to show to the cab driver, cab information on pool arrangements,
as well as directions for those driving their cars.
