Caitlin Williams, PhD, is an expert in navigating the workplace with grit and grace. An atypical career development professional, through her consulting, speaking, and writing, she evangelises the opportunities for experienced professionals to continue to pursue meaningful work that keeps their performance high, their anxiety low, and their lives moving in the direction that works for them. Witnessing the disheartening effects of the "working worried," she offers these committed workers specific tools and strategies for flourishing in a always uncertain workplace. Whether experienced professionals are exploring new career paths or pursuing excellence in already chosen careers, she acts as their chief supporter and sounding board. Caitlin is also an organisation's key advisor, guiding leadership in identifying and leveraging employee strengths and critical skill sets and helping them build healthy, productive and innovative workplaces. In her work, Caitlin uses the leading-edge tools of personal branding, appreciative inquiry, personal story, and preferred futuring. These techniques powerfully shift her clients and audiences' perspective from one that is limited to a history-focused and static view of themselves to one that leverages current strengths and focuses on future possibilities. Annabelle Reitman has more than 40 years of experience in career coaching and counselling, specialising in resume development that targets clients' individualised professional stories as well as short-term coaching for people in work transitions, enabling them to successfully continue their career journey. Reitman is an established writer and author in the career and talent management arenas. She is a past president and co-president of the ASTD Metro DC Chapter and past president of the Association of Career Professionals International (ACPI) DC Chapter.
