***Young Professionals: Navigating Your Life and Career*

The challenges facing millennials living in the Boston area today can be 
daunting. How do you take your career to the next level? How do you get 
to do the work you really want to do? How will you pay back your college 
loans (or take out new loans) while paying bills and rent? How do you 
get the most out of life on a limited budget? How do you deal with those 
complicated relationships at work and in your personal life? In these 
engaging, interactive seminars, you’ll develop new strategies and skills 
to help you make the most of this exciting time of your life—and you’ll 
also meet new people and have a good time while you’re at it.

  These approaches will help individuals deal more confidently with 
important negotiations, key influencing opportunities, and difficult 
relationships at home and at work.  The presentation draws from the work 
of leading scholars and researchers, including the Program on 
Negotiation at Harvard Law School, the MIT Urban Studies Program, and

A busy life can tend to lead to takeout, extra-large coffees, and eating

snacks so you can plan your hectic daily routine. Tools for shopping 
quickly, saving money, and eating for sustained energy will be 
discussed. In addition, you’ll learn a quick any-day, any-where body

have to take up a lot of time to still be a priority.
