Welcome to the newsletter of the National Career Pathways Network.
Volume 26, No. 2: T-E-A-M! (Together Everyone Achieves More)

Teams are more than just collections of people. Teams produce synergy and create outcomes that are greater than the sum of their individual members.
Teams are effective in achieving challenging goals when their members distribute knowledge and communicate well. But, they become even more effective when leadership is shared between members. Being an effective team member and a successful team-oriented leader requires knowledge and lot of practice.
Looking to attend NCPN 2016, October 5-7 @ Indy? Then start now assembling your Career Pathways Development T-E-A-M. Teams are an excellent way to model Career Pathways development, and bringing a team allows institutions to work together and share the insights gained from the sessions. Last year at NCPN 2015 many school districts did just that and found the conference to be the perfect place to gain knowledge, set goals, share ideas, and build the synergy needed to return and get to work!
Hope to see you there!
