TAS E-Forum: Reading Room - August
Dr Catherine Hughes will speak about integrating theory, research and practice from the perspective of the Hope Action Theory of Career Development.
Research shows that strengthening hope-action competencies is useful in planning and managing your career and life effectively. Hope-Action Theory consists of the following seven competencies:
- Hopefulness: The degree of hope you have about your future.
- Self-reflection: Examining your thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and circumstances.
- Self-clarity: Having a clear understanding about yourself in terms of interests, values, skills, motivation, goals, etc.
- Visioning: Brainstorming future possibilities for your career and identifying desired future outcomes.
- Goal Setting and Planning: The process of specifying what you want to achieve and identifying specific steps to reach your goals.
- Implementing: Taking action to achieve your goals.
- Adapting: Using new information about yourself and your environment to inform your goals and plans.
