Careers and the New Normal by Dr. Santrupt B Misra

About the program:

“The idea of normal itself seems aberrational in the times that we live in. There are very few aspects of personal and professional life that seem untouched by things beyond human control. Yet, the indomitable human spirit continues its search for new answers, ways to adapt, protect and innovate around things important to us.

Career as a concept is bound to evolve significantly in these unprecedented times. Entrepreneurs, Professionals as well as the self-employed people ae searching for meaning the work they do. Traditional way of looking at career and employment is going through self-correction and redirection. How does one rethink about career, how does one prepare for the fault lines, what could be new opportunities in the new normal and many more questions are worth exploring and revisiting. This timely session planned by BMA is an effort to evolve our collective and individual thinking on the subject”.
