La gestión personal de la carrera es una de las competencias más requeridas en el actual mundo profesional. Un enfoque planificado en este ámbito implica estar preparado para explorar información relativa a uno mismo y al mercado del trabajo, definiendo objetivos concretos y realistas, diseñando e implementando estrategias y planes de acción, y evaluando y buscando feedback sobre esas acciones, con la finalidad de resolver problemas, tomar decisiones, y emprenderse en el dominio de la carrera profesional. Este libro presenta un modelo de intervención dentro de la psicología vocacional o la orientación profesional, el Seminario de Gestión de la Carrera, desarrollado para becarios de investigación, en el contexto portugués. Se describe el marco teórico de referencia, los objetivos, la estructura, los contenidos y los procedimientos de cada una de las sesiones, así como la evaluación durante todo el proceso. El objetivo de este trabajo es dotar a los profesionales de la orientación de una herramienta para asesorar sobre la propia carrera de jóvenes adultos y adultos, fomentando comportamientos y actitudes de agencia personal.

How do we take stock of the state and direction of the world’s environment, and what can we learn from the experience? Among the myriad detailed narratives about the condition of the planet, the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) reports—issued by the United Nations Environment Programme—stand out as the most ambitious. For nearly three decades the GEO project has not only delivered iconic global assessment reports, but through its multitude of contributors has inspired hundreds of similar processes worldwide from the regional to the local level. This book provides an inside account of the evolution of the GEO project from its earliest days. Building on meticulous research, including interviews with former heads of the United Nations Environment Programme, diplomats, leading contributing scientists, and senior leaders of collaborating organizations, the story is told from the perspective of five GEO veterans who all played a pivotal role in shaping the periodic assessments. The GEO’s history provides striking insights and will save valuable time to those who commission, design and conduct, as well as critique and improve, assessments of environmental development in the next decade.
