Are you making the most of your strengths and attributes? Is your image going to take your career to the next level?
This fall, NHTI offers a four-part program geared to professionals looking to enhance their professional image while learning effective networking techniques. The price is just $199 for all four sessions.
Session I: Be Visible – Making Connections that Count! Oct. 3, 5:30-8 p.m. Effective networking is a good business practice, whether you’re a corporate professional or you own your own business. The key to making the most of your professional networking is to keep the right attitude and use a series of techniques to connect with others and expand your circle of influence. Connections with the right people put you on the path to success. Being able to leverage your networks saves you time, energy, and money.
Session II: Using Technology as a Networking Tool, Oct. 10, 5:30-8 p.m. Career networking websites enable you to build relationships with people you know and the people they know to develop thousands of connections and to collaborate with professional online interest groups. Many employers are using LinkedIn as a primary hiring source. Job search has completely changed because technology enabled networking is more powerful, more effective, faster, more in depth and free. Create an online profile using LinkedIn and learn about Google sites for building online portfolios.
Session III: Personal Branding – Packaging Your Identity, Oct. 17, 5:30-8 p.m. Your personal power and professional ‘style’ have a bearing on the way you are viewed by your employer, customers and colleagues. Those views can help or hinder your effectiveness on the job and your ability to advance your position or start a new business. This session reveals the essential ingredients of a winning professional image through self-assessment activities, discussion, and interactive exercises.
Session IV: Building a Strategic and Sustainable Action Plan, Oct. 24, 5:30-8 p.m. Having a sustainable strategic plan will assist you in maintaining your focus and reaching your chosen level of success. Utilizing the tools you’ve gained throughout the Career Building Skills program, this session will provide insight into the creation and execution of an inpidualized strategic and sustainable plan.
