\n Holistic Career Design\n <\/h1>\n \n \n \n\n

A whole brain approach to life after undergrad<\/p>\n\n\n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

This content was born from a workshop series which encouraged career planning from a holistic perspective, engaging in both <\/em>rational, analytical, action-based methods as well as reflective, imaginative, “bottom up” processes to get in touch with the multidimensionality of contemplating life after undergrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We practiced running the neurocircuitry that helps us see the bigger picture, tune into larger patterns, and hone our subtle perception, and then we wove in the parts that focus on details and linearity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take or leave what you wish – you don’t have to watch the video or follow the guided meditation – you can just jump to the resources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For more of the full experience, you can begin by watching Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s TED Talk<\/a> entitled “My Stroke of Insight<\/strong>“, which served as inspiration for the workshop\/playshop series. More about Dr. Taylor’s academic and lived experience with neuroanatomy can be found on her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
