Description

CDA was founded because of Harkness' extensive research based on Alvin Toffler's book "Future Shock" (1970) in which Toffler predicted the American workers would change jobs three times in their working life. Sylvia Porter, the author of numerous financial planning books including "Minding Your Money," predicted job changes 3-5 times in a career. In 1974 Dr. Harkness changed her Doctorate from English to Higher Education in order to research and complete the first dissertation on career change. She obtained a grant from the Department of Labor and opened a free community based career center in the public library in Garland,Texas, which provided career services to 6,000 individuals. Having experienced and survived her own career and future shock and chaos in the early 1970s, she designed her programs to teach adults —at every age, career and educational level— how to work and thrive in the current age of constant change and complexity. Harkness' clients say she is more than a career coach. She is a friend, confidant, encourager and also known to gently, yet firmly, light a fire under those who need it.
