Dr. Harkness, in response to economic trends, gasoline prices and new media options, has begun to offer shorter format courses of three types at her office in Garland and at strategic locations around the DFW Metroplex.

In the short video above, Dr. Harkness discusses her hopes for the shorter format courses, details of each of her trainings, elements of her philosophy of recareering, and your need to - as always - keep your crap detector sharp!
Her first course – a one day workshop October 18 in Garland – will be followed by a one-day workshop on November 22 at the Allen Public Library.
Dr. Harkness is the spur - some might say the "burr under the saddle" - who enlightens, energizes, encourages, enables and enlightens groups and individuals to shift their careers and lives into overdrive.
