- Letter from the Editor
Welcome to the age of opportunity!
What word could be more closely associated
with the profession of Career Consulting
than "change"? To be alive, all
organisms and organizations must grow and
develop, responding to fluctuations in both
their internal and external environments.
It is said that we are in a state of accelerated
change. It is the hallmark of our times.

San Juan Conference and Now! (Article)
The San Juan conference was a big celebration
of our new name and commitment to be the "world's
voice on career issues" and improve
the "value proposition to members."
You could feel the buzz of energy from everyone
around the world as we opened up our conference
with a champagne toast! The buzz continued
throughout the conference, on the beach,
at the pool. Maybe it was the champagne or
the rum or the pina coladas, or maybe we
just had a group of friendly attendees?
This is where you truly felt part of a global
community! While we were all from 13 different
countries with different cultural and economic
contexts, our focus was the same: to help
people manage their careers.
