Relationships for Career Success

In this talk, students and young professionals acquire the mindset and skill set to take control of their careers through building mutually beneficial relationships. Setting goals is where most career development programs end, but that’s just where Relationships for Career Success begins. After establishing incremental goals for a range of 60-days to 10-years, participants learn to do the following:

• Identify people who can help them achieve career and life goals,
• Build and broadcast unique personal brands to stand out in the crowded marketplace,
• Ensure the people and resources in their own “back yards” are contributing to their success,
• Approach and engage mentors for guidance along the many paths of their careers, culminating in a dynamic personal board of advisors, and
• Develop a customized Relationship Action Plan to guide their actions and track progress.
  

Instant Intimacy: Your Most Potent Weapon Against Prejudice

It’s no secret that on campus or in the workplace, if we look or live the slightest bit differently than the “norm,” others have prejudices toward us. Although we can’t stop others from making these pre-judgments, we can endear ourselves to others enough that they come to care for us as human individuals, with all the wonderful hopes and dreams and insecurities that they have, too. In “Instant Intimacy,” participants will learn the secrets for turning only 10 minutes of conversation into the kind of human intimacy and acceptance they feel with close friends.
