Designed with content, resources, and activities to be a learning tool for students, a resource for educators, and a reference for career practitioners in the field, the book is ideal for students and educators of career development at community colleges and universities, workshop leaders and attendees, and career professionals. Much attention is given to the \"nuts and bolts\" of the practice for developing relationships with clients, helping clients with career planning and decision making, and equipping clients with job search skills. Diversity and social justice are strong themes. Chapters examine the needs of special populations: Aboriginal peoples, immigrants, refugees, and the poor. Career development is a lifelong process of managing learning and work. Chapters describe the challenges and the approaches for guiding the process for students in elementary school, through high school, and in the postsecondary years. Professionalism runs throughout the text - ethical practice, historical development, Canadian Standards and Guidelines, competency, and attention to current pressing issues. Among these are accountability of career practitioners and evaluating the efficacy of career services. The text concludes with a look at the transformations that are taking place in the career development sector. \"Career Development Practice in Canada is the first comprehensive Canadian book to offer the insights of researchers, educators, and practitioners on the key issues related to the theory and practice of lifelong career development in Canada. It will go a long way toward moving career development theory and practice forward in our country.\" -WILLIAM A BORGEN, Professor, Counselling Psychology, University of British Columbia \"While books in career counselling are myriad, this book orients readers through an informed, scholarly inquiry into the Canadian context. The editors have done a remarkable job of garnering contributions from a selection of Canadian researchers, educators, and practitioners. The result is a thorough, sensible, comprehensive resource in career development that will interest and instruct students, educators, and practitioners. This book will serve to sustain and facilitate our vibrant career development profession.\" -MILDRED CAHILL, Professor, Faculty of Education, Memorial University of Newfoundland \"Over the past decade, as a career counsellor educator, I have had to piece together diverse resources to meet the needs of the learners.

It brings into focus a widely-experienced yet rarely-talked-about-phenomenon of people trapped in emotional quicksand. You may be hidden behind a perfect (or possibly a not-so-perfect) facade, longing for a sense of freedom that allows you to simply BE YOU. Written from the heart of a multi-talented daughter of a Tuskegee Airman, born into a family of trailblazers and high-achievers, Anne felt she had big shoes to fill. She lived a trapped existence holding herself back with tentative reins, as do many children from gifted families. Until she took a leap of faith, stepped out saying YES without knowing HOW; only KNOWING that wings would be grown as she began to SOAR. Along her journey she encountered real people from all walks of life, struggling with self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. Many shared how at times they \"play small\", or \"live scared\" fearful of alienation and abandonment. They sometimes self-sabotage or settle for mediocrity rather than reach their full potential. Often they have feelings of \"I'm not good enough\", \"I don't matter\", or simply wonder how to live up to and into expectations that result from three influencers that can limit and trap you emotionally. These perceptions, beliefs and judgments (PB\u0026amp;Js(R)) that are imposed on you by others or yourself have the power to control your life. Either you learn to manage them or they will manage you. This eye-opening book illuminates a new perspective.

Rather than approaching leadership from the traditional model emphasizing specific skill sets, this book acquaints students with how to learn leadership using the ReAChS model of leadership development (Reflection, Assessment, Challenge, Support). It then encourages students to directly engage their own experiences to hone their leader identity and understanding of leadership as well as improve their leadership knowledge and skills. Step-by-step exercises lead students in reflecting on their experiences, assessing themselves, choosing challenges, creating support networks, and finally capturing and communicating to others what they have learned. Throughout, examples of student leaders' experiences provide readers with powerful examples of others' successes and struggles in leadership alongside the latest psychological research on learning and development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValerie I.
