Career Planning Workshop

Why?

“When I was a little boy, my parents told me what to do, and scolded me if I didn’t. When I went to school, my teachers told me what to do and caned me if I didn’t. When I joined the army, the sergeant told me what to do, and God help me if I didn’t, so I did!! When I got my first job, my boss told me what to do too. So when I reached a position of some authority, what did I do? I told people what to do, because that is what all my role models had done. That is true for the majority of us. We have been brought up on telling – and we are very good at it .” - Sir John Whitmore
