Workshop: Navigating Careers in an Uncertain World: Four Career Traps and How to Move Forward

31st of January, 2026

1:00 PM

Tartu College, 3 Madison Ave. Toronto

An afternoon workshop led by career coach Merit Luik, for ages 35 and under. (In English)

We grow up hearing that if we make the right choices, work hard, and stay positive, our careers will fall neatly into place. Reality is messier. Doubt appears, motivation drops, success feels distant, and confidence often fades when we need it most.

At the same time, building a career today is very different from a generation ago. Rapid change, unstable job markets, blurred career paths, and constant comparison create pressure to move fast and “get it right” early on. Uncertainty is no longer an exception, but the norm.

This workshop is for young adults who want a more honest, human, and sustainable way to think about their career. Rather than promising clarity or certainty, it offers a realistic and empowering approach suited to a world that values flexibility, resilience, and ongoing learning over linear plans.

In the workshop participants explore four common career traps that quietly shape decisions and self-beliefs:

– The Happiness Trap

– The Success Trap

– The Confidence Trap

– The Natural Genius Trap

Through short inputs, reflection, discussion, and practical exercises, participants gain tools to keep moving forward—even when the path feels uncertain or unfinished.

This workshop has limited spots! Register here by January 25th:
