24. Strategies for Your Career Development Journey: A Conversation with Mark Federman, PhD

The Career Planning Show

The Career Planning Show went through a hiatus for two and a half months, but now we’re back to help you plan and develop your career.

On the 24th episode of the podcast, we feature the interview we conducted with Mark Federman earlier this summer. We walk through Mark’s career journey, talk about Marshall McLuhan’s work, discuss career development scenarios and strategies, and reflect on what effects you may want to create in the world.

An experienced coach, mentor, organizational therapist, educator, and author, Mark has developed a unique understanding of individuals in their workplaces, and of organizations seeking to find ways to bring out the best in their people. Mark enables the possibility of an alternate future for leaders, organizations, and individuals. Mark completed a PhD specialized in Adult Education and Community Development at University of Toronto, and, in addition to his private practice, he is an adjunct professor at University of Guelph-Humber in the Psychology department, and at Schulich School of Business at York University. Before Covid, Mark was a West Coast Swing, Salsa, and Blues dancer and a Salsa dance instructor, and the co-host of Sidewalk Salsa, a free, open-air dance party in midtown Toronto through the summer.
