Abstract
This keynote session delves into the pivotal role parents play in the career and life development of young individuals, with a specific focus on Chinese societies. This session aims to empower parents and enablers to actively support their children's growth while also encouraging their own career exploration and mindset transformation. Dr. Chan highlights the importance of synchronized efforts between parents and children, emphasizing a shift from dictation to direction, subjection to support, and the provision of a nurturing environment. Speakers will share their personal journeys of transformation, which were shaped by exposure to diverse experiences and real-life workplace encounters during the "Take a CLAP Year/Day" initiative.
