On behalf of the NCBDAG Board of Directors, I would like to

welcome you to the NBCDAG 2010 Annual Forum. Your Forum

theme this year, “Fit for the Future” encompasses all areas of

fitness in both our professional and personal life. This is an

opportunity to stretch yourself and take advantage of the

opportunities and challenges ahead. We are pleased to be

offering a rich variety of workshops for both new and seasoned

career practitioners. It is our hope that our Forum will provide

you with a valuable opportunity to meet new colleagues and

renew existing friendships as well as learn some concrete

strategies and tools to enrich and balance your life. Most of all,

we hope that you enjoy yourself and take the opportunity to

“Make Connections”.

Au nom du Conseil d’administration du Groupe d’action en développement de carrière du

Nouveau‑Brunswick (GADCNB), je désire vous souhaiter la bienvenue au Forum annuel 2010 du

GADCNB. Le thème de cette année, Fin prêt pour l’avenir, englobe tous les aspects de l’« état » dans

lequel se trouve votre vie professionnelle et personnelle. Voilà votre chance de pousser vos limites et de

tirer parti des occasions et des défis qui se présenteront à vous. Nous sommes heureux d’offrir une

grande variété d’ateliers aux nouveaux professionnels comme aux professionnels chevronnés. Nous

espérons que ce forum sera pour vous une occasion précieuse de faire la connaissance de nouveaux

collègues, de retrouver des amis et de découvrir des stratégies et des ressources concrètes qui

enrichiront votre vie et vous permettront de trouver le juste équilibre. Avant tout, nous espérons que

vous aurez du plaisir et que pourrez « créer des liens ».

Terry Kelly Dr. Terry Kelly’s passion for life has gained him international recognition as an award-winning singer/songwriter, and renowned motivational speaker, an accomplished athlete, and an entertainer.

He has used his life experiences to touch the hearts of many and to motivate many to live their lives to the fullest, and by his example, overcome personal challenges of all types.

Vous apprendrez comment transformer un défi en une occasion et en un don. Tout cela se traduit par une ouverture d’esprit, une adaptation au changement et des rajustements positifs d’attitude.

Be Fit, Connect, and Celebrate Your Profession

Location: Republic (Simultaneous Interpretation) As we stay connected with our world personally and professionally, we become and

remain fit for the future and for life, and we achieve success, with healthy body,

mind, and spirit.

Terry Kelly's keynote presentation will inspire and guide you to assess where you

are today with your professional development plan, and take the temperature of

your human resources. He will offer tried and true recipes that you can implement

one step at a time, for physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and financial

balance, all of which are essential to be connected, fit and successful going forward,

even where professional development is concerned. He will assist you to recognize and celebrate your gifts,

talents and abilities, culminating in reaffirming your personal and professional purpose. Your time spent with

Terry Kelly will encourage and motivate you to review where you are presently, and to develop a strategy that

will, if embarked upon, provide you with the tools and firm footing for MAKING CONNECTIONS and being FIT FOR

THE FUTURE.

Using songs and stories peppered with humour, and audience participation, Terry will illustrate how gifts are

often disguised as challenges. You will come to know how to transform a challenge into an opportunity and a

gift. All of this adds up to opening our minds, adapting ourselves for change, and cultivates profound positive

attitude adjustments.

into your experience and expertise to ensure the S & Gs remain relevant, current and robust – and a true

reflection of you and your practice.

The Perfect Storm: Implications for Practitioners

Location: Republic (Simultaneous Interpretation)

We’re entering an unprecedented labour force cycle in which hundreds of thousands of new economy jobs

will go unfilled due to lack of skilled labour. Opportunities will abound for those with the knowledge and skills

to navigate Canada’s rapidly evolving workforce. Yet, of 100 students that enter the “talent pipeline” in grade

9 each year only 26 will graduate on schedule from post-secondary programs. Only 13 are in jobs directly

La parfaite crise : les incidences pour les professionnels

Lieu : Republic (Interprétation simultanée)

Nous entamons un cycle sans précédent de la population active où des centaines de milliers d’emplois dans

la nouvelle économie ne trouveront pas preneur à cause de la pénurie de main-d’œuvre qualifiée. Les

possibilités ne manquent pas pour ceux qui possèdent les connaissances et les compétences pour explorer le

marché de travail à évolution rapide au Canada. Pourtant, sur les 100 élèves qui entrent dans le « pipeline

des talents » en 9e année chaque année, 26 seulement obtiendront leur diplôme d’études postsecondaires à

la date prévue. Treize seulement occuperont des emplois directement liés à leur spécialisation, deux ans plus

tard. Durant cette présentation, nous examinerons des moyens qui s’offrent à nous pour aider nos clients à

se tirer de la parfaite tempête et à prospérer malgré la « parfaite crise de talents ».

Phil Jarvis a rédigé ou a aidé à élaborer des ressources sur la carrière, maintenant utilisées par des millions

d’étudiants et d’adultes dans le milieu de l’éducation, au gouvernement et dans l’industrie dans le monde

entier.

Keeping up with Sprinting Leaders and their Real World

Location: Republic (Simultaneous Interpretation)

Leaders in all sectors have very specific needs with respect to the type of people

they want to hire, the skills and abilities they are seeking and the fit they require

with their organizations and their very particular workplace cultures.

This presentation will seek to inform participants on today’s and tomorrow’s

needs of leaders in all sectors with respect to their recruitment and selection

requirements and more specifically how career developers can better prepare their clients and students

for the demands of today’s ever evolving workplace. The presentation will go well beyond the glossed

over data often cited in this regard and unveil the sometimes unforgiving and harsh realities of many

workplaces and the sought after skill sets required to survive and thrive within them.

Pierre Battah

Lieu : Republic (Interprétation simultanée)

Les dirigeants dans tous les secteurs ont des besoins très précis en ce qui concerne le type de personnes

qu’ils veulent embaucher, les compétences et les capacités qu’ils recherchent, ainsi que l’équilibre dont

ils ont besoin entre les candidats et leur organisation et leur culture du milieu de travail très particulière.

Cette présentation cherchera à informer les participants au sujet des besoins actuels et futurs des diri-

geants dans tous les secteurs relativement à leurs critères de recrutement et de sélection et, plus parti-

culièrement, comment les professionnels en développement de carrière peuvent mieux préparer leurs

clients et les étudiants pour les demandes du milieu de travail contemporain en évolution constante. Elle

Running with Leaders—Their Role and Resource

Requirements in Career Development

Location: Republic (Simultaneous Interpretation)

Organizations have shifted their career development initiatives substantially and now have very

different expectations of managers and leaders in this regard. Often, the resourcing of such

programs is left to ill equipped leaders to cobble together succession programs, replacement

strategies and employee development plans. Those tasked with such responsibility need help

by way of career development expertise and tools.

This workshop will examine what those needs are and how career development professionals

can help. It will focus on outlining how career development really happens within organizations

how to get close to this group in need and how to best offer assistance to the benefit of

leaders, organizations and ultimately their clients.

Pierre Battah (BBA, MBA, CHRP) is an expert in management and human resource

management. His practice is focused on teaching, facilitating and especially providing counsel

to individuals and organizations. Pierre has held senior positions with some of Atlantic Canada’s

leading employers. He is an associate professor at Mount Allison University and an award

winning management development instructor. Formerly the managing partner of Atlantic

Canada’s leading Human Resources firm, he has been advising organizations large and small in

all sectors since 1996. Fluently bilingual and an accomplished public speaker, he can be heard

Le peloton des dirigeants — Leur rôle et les besoins en ressources en développement

de carrière —Pierre Battah

Lieu : Republic (Interprétation simultanée)

Les organisations ont changé sensiblement leurs initiatives de développement de carrière et ont maintenant des attentes très différentes à l’endroit des gestionnaires et des dirigeants à cet égard. Il arrive souvent que le ressourcement soit laissé à des dirigeants ayant peu de moyens de juguler les programmes de relève, les stratégies s plans de perfectionnement des employés. Les personnes qui héritent de cette responsabilité ont besoin d’aide sous la forme d’expertise et d’outils en développement de carrière. Cet atelier examinera ces besoins et l’aide que les professionnels en développement de carrière peuvent apporter. Il fera un survol des réalités du développement de carrière dans les organisations, des moyens pour joindre les membres de ce groupe dans le besoin et de la meilleure façon d’offrir une aide pour le bénéfice des dirigeants, des organismes et, en dernière analyse, de leurs clients.

Labour Market Information: What Works?

Location: Champlain

Does labour market information (LMI) truly help clients? How much support, if any, do clients need to make

sense of LMI and use it to advance their career goals? These have been largely unanswered questions...until

the Canadian Career Development Foundation and the Canadian Research Working Group on Evidence-Based

Practice (CRWG) is unpacking these questions with real clients in real offices and tracking results over a four

month period. Preliminary results will be presented and the implications for how LMI is integrated into

service delivery discussed.

Presenters: Lynne Bezanson is the Executive Director of the Canadian Career Development Foundation. She

coordinates the Canadian Research Working Group (CRWG) and manages this exciting research project.

de l’équipement et des technologies de pointe pour fabriquer des produits haut de gamme de marque privée

pour les principaux détaillants nord-américains. Nous offrons deux lignes de couches pour bébés et une ligne

de culottes de propreté. Nous pourrons également tripler la capacité pendant que nous prendrons de l’essor.

Le contrôle de la qualité est assuré par l’utilisation de caméras de détection visuelle évoluées qui voient tout

et rejettent tout produit qui ne se conforme pas entièrement à la spécification.

Nous nous sommes engagés à aider nos partenaires détaillants à augmenter leur chiffre de ventes pour les

couches. L’amélioration continue des produits, la prise en considération des idées des consommateurs et la

réalisation d’analyses du marché sont déterminantes pour le succès.

Soins personnels Irving est fière d’avoir reçu divers prix à titre de fournisseur partenaire de l’année de la part

d’importants détaillants nord-américains.
