Keynote Presenters

Dr. Kathy Evans, NCDA Past PresidentKathy Evans

Dr. Evans has published extensively and decided to write "Gaining Cultural Competence in Career Counseling" because there were no available texts that helped students understand the synthesis of culture and career. For some of the same reasons, she also co-authored "Experiential Approach for developing Multicultural Counseling Competence" with Dr. Mary Fawcett of Winona State University.

Creatively Incorporating Black Lives Matter in Career Practice

This presentation will focus on a) the importance of understanding the Black Lives Matter movement as it applies to career practice, b) understanding the need to think outside the box when working with African American/Black clients, and c) encouraging advocacy and social justice practice.

The Road More Travelled

The complexity of the contemporary career indicates a need to traverse the byways as well as the highways, to journey without always knowing the destination, to enjoy the ride. To undertake this journey, practitioners and their clients both need creativity - the ability to be curious, playful, to embrace not-knowing, and to combine critical thinking with imagination and intuition. In this presentation we will explore the nature of creativity and review a range of whole-brain activities for use with clients.
