CareerCraft is a new paradigm for a new career reality.
This new reality, described by such terms as “chaos” and “positive uncertainty,”
calls for new approaches which are more holistic, flexible, and creative. We will explore the value of looking at career
issues from the perspective of “craft”—the “art of career”
more than just the “management of career.”
![Page 42: Gray Poehnell Ergon Communications poehnell@interchange.ubc ergon-communications](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56812fa8550346895d9529a8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Creativity is moving up the list of essential business skills needed to survive and succeed
in the fast and complex new society.
Many books and articles in the Harvard Business Review and other business magazines urge us
to pay more than lip service to the creative process.

Why is creativity getting all of this attention?
Because the rules of the new economy are changing, not only quickly but fundamentally.
We are on new and shifting ground with no clear path
and no one to show us the way.We have to make it up.

1. To facilitate clients’ telling their own story
2. To facilitate clients’ self-discovery vs our telling them
3. To facilitate clients’ ownership of findings and growth in self-esteem
