    This happens to be my area of specialty - can you provide more information on what you would like to accomplish - the goals of the 1- hour, type of audience, how many, etc. I can help you quite easily.

    Hi,
     
    There are a number of such exercises in my book:

    Baruch, Y. (2004). Managing Careers: Theory and Practice. <st1:place w:st="on">Harlow</st1:place>: FT-Prentice Hall/Pearson. ISBN: 0-273-67800-0

     
    Otherwise I run a 'clay modelling' workshop, based on the idea and experience of Wolfgang Mayrhofer, where students work together with clay and model their future career in an interactive session - doing things different, it is a memorable experience for them, though not conventional (we run one for academics in New Orleans Academy Meeting).
     
    Another, less 'dirty' work is a 'Dating' seminar - which I learned about from Clark, Easter & Clark -

    From the Classroom to the Boardroom: How Understanding "The Rules" of Dating can help Undergraduate Students Understand "The Rules" of Effective Business Communication

     

    This in-class exercise elevates student awareness of the importance of planning verbal and nonverbal behavior as key to successful career communication.  Small groups of students answer questions about dating and then apply their understanding from what it takes to make and sustain a positive impression in dating situations to career communication, including  networking, co-op, and job interviews.

     

    Enjoy your classes.

     

    Yours
