Workshop On DePaul University’s Oak Forest Campus Focuses On Life Balance Strategies

Wondering how to best balance work with the rest of your life? Want to make a start in reaching your career and personal goals?

If so, the workshop, “Your Type of Life Balance Strategies,” is for you. It will run from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. April 25 on the Oak Forest Campus, 16333 S. Kilbourn Ave, near Highway 57 in Oak Forest. The workshop costs $20. DePaul management professor Helen LaVan will help participants develop life strategies based on their strengths, values and goals. The workshop is centered on the extensive Myers-Briggs personality indicator, which all participants will take.

Understanding characteristics unique to the 16 distinct personality types provides insight on how they influence an individual’s way of communicating and interacting with others, notes LaVan, a professional trainer and consultant for many public and private companies.

She is certified as a career manager by the International Association of Career Management Professionals and as a counselor by the National Board of Certified Counselors.

This is the second in a series of life-enhancing workshops DePaul is offering this spring on its five suburban campuses.
