An Essential and Neglected Talent - Effective Personal Communication.

Technology and the modern organization have withered personal communications. Our contact with colleagues and partners is mediated through technology that replaces real human interaction. Business today has become virtual with operations on multiple continents, minimal support staff, and an information glut. Hurried executives are stretched in a myriad of directions and isolated from staff and family.

People often complain of a lack of communication in organizations. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact people are communicating like crazy, but nobody is listening and what is said is stripped of context, subtext, and association.

When we manage our career these same neglected communication skills become critical. From networking to interviewing, our ability to effectively talk, listen, and respond determines our success in gaining support, establishing trust, and landing that job. This lively interactive presentation features fun practice drills and equips you with effective communication skills.

Talents, Passions, & Possibilities: Creating a Career Plan

Most executives admit that their careers have evolved based on opportunism, hard work, and sometimes luck. The truth is that many savvy executives manage their business goals far better than they manage their careers, leaving them sometimes displaced or dissatisfied with their ultimate achievements . Effective career management starts with a Vision and a Plan. This workshop focuses on defining what you want to do with the rest of your career, and helps you take the first step toward renewed energy and inspiration about achieving your life's purpose.

In this provocative, powerful, and hands-on seminar, you will:

• begin to “inventory” your personal skills, talents and abilities which serve as the foundation for moving forward
• explore your passions and personal goals in your career so that a career vision emerges
• be introduced to a variety of independent assessment sources so that you can further clarify your career opportunities and possibilities for a “right fit” that combine your talents and your passions.
• learn about the importance of a Personal Career Portfolio

Networking on Steroids

Most who network miss the mark. They don't know why networking works and they don't know how to do it without abusing others. Put muscle into your networking by learning the secrets of strategic networking. Overcome the three challenges to effective tactical networking in a job search: an undeveloped network, misuse or abuse, and fear.

Personal Branding in the 21st century

Companies brand, products brand, celebrities brand, athletes brand. What about you?

Business is not rational. Nobody's job is guaranteed anymore. You are often competing against someone thousands of miles away. Hard work and accomplishment mean little. Whether you want to distinguish yourself from other job candidates or other managers at your company, you need to stand out. If you don't manage your own reputation, those around you will. This presentation takes personal branding to the next level to ensure YOU are number one.

Our Executive Career Seminar is for you if:

• You're unemployed, underemployed, or a starving consultant
• Your job search is not getting the results you expect.
• You have a job but it's not what you want or you're not happy.
• Your career search is just fine but you're ready to supercharge it!
