STETSON CHAPTER ACTIVITIES
EVENT: Lunch & Learn with Randall Croom, Ph.D., assistant professor of Management, Stetson University
TOPIC: Professionalism as a Practice
DATE: March 18, 2021
TIME: noon-1 p.m.
LOCATION: JOIN the Lunch & Learn
Career success is about more than just whether we can get the job done–it’s how we do it. One key to getting things done well is professionalism. More than just a way of describing someone (i.e. professional vs. unprofessional), professionalism is a practice that we can all engage in. Professionalism as a practice may be the secret to better organizations, better outcomes, and more satisfying work experiences. Additionally, professionalism can make it easier to market yourself both inside and outside your organization. We’ll talk about the tenets of professionalism, how to become a more professional practitioner, and how they can help with career navigation.

Should I stay or should I go: When to bloom in place or seek new opportunities
This brown bag conversation will help women identify personal and professional priorities and, with these in mind, develop a sense of whether it is time to advance their careers in place or uproot to pursue a new position. Participants will be encouraged to be deliberate in seeking professional experiences, to create and use a professional support network, and to advance their careers while keeping personal and professional priorities at the forefront.
