Course Description

This course is for planners with a few years of practice under their belts and who are wondering how they can be more effective and derive greater satisfaction from their work. The course builds on a framework for understanding practice, encourages attendee reflection, and helps attendees understand the positions of others they will encounter in their career. Illustrated with cases from practice, the framework connects positions and choices back to the planner’s assessment of political and administrative context, adopted professional style, and personal commitments.
