Ignite Your Passion 2019
The CDAA is pleased to host Ignite Your Passion 2019, an annual event featuring a full day of quality and affordable professional development in four locations across Alberta: Calgary, Lethbridge, Edmonton, and Bonnyville. This year we are pleased to present:
Upshifting your Workplace Culture: Tools for career trailblazers
In discussions about employers, employees and with our job seekers we often forget to pay attention to our own workplaces. In addition to being career development professionals, we are also leaders, managers, employees, team members and colleagues. How healthy are our workplace cultures? How can simple tools make a significant difference in the relationships you have within your workplace?
Join Lisa Taylor in this practical, interactive workshop to explore your own level of workplace engagement and experiment with tools that unlock deeper relationships, authentic partnerships and more fun at work.
Tribal Leadership and ProSocial behaviours are two of the tools that can create "life is great" workplace experiences. Simple and easy to apply - even in moments that have you feeling like "my life sucks!"
Curious about the language and tools? Come ready for frank discussions and supportive fellowship.

Interested in Lisa's book, The Talent Revolution: Longevity and the Future of Work?
The definitive guide to maximizing workforce value, The Talent Revolution exposes work-life longevity as the most influential driver transforming today’s workplace – a competitive edge for organizations smart enough to capitalize on it.
This is a first – a book that positions older workers as revolutionaries and reveals how organizations that engage employees across all life stages will outperform their competitors. With clarity and specificity, it describes new models, debunks commonly held myths about older workers, demolishes justifications for traditional structures and attitudes, and builds the case for a reset that will help smart companies profit from their intergenerational workforce.
Through case studies, metrics, strategies, and tactics, The Talent Revolution explores the impact of workforce demographics on the future of work and provides new, actionable strategies for turning an aging workforce into a competitive advantage.
