FWN's professional development programming (launched in 2002) is based on life and career development theories adapted from the work of Schein, Farren, Hudson and Kare. FWN workshops and seminars are designed around the life areas. We invite speakers who are specialists in these fields to share their expertise with FWN Members.
The 12 Life Empowerment Areas are best appreciated when FWN members take the Life Planning Overview which can provide a practical foundation for professional development. This workshop series can be taken regardless of education, work experience, age or life situation.
