Option2: BUILDING STRATEGIC CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:

About the Seminar
This session challenges Media Communications professionals to face transitions they are tolerating, or losing sleep over, and start to look at them as opportunities. Exercises include conducting a health check for their own and their clients' businesses - balancing how their skills, products, and services match the evolving needs of clients. Participants develop personal toolkits to manage their own careers, and develop concrete next steps for professional development and business development.

Peggy will randomly select three individuals who will receive a complimentary one hour phone coaching session. The sessions would need to be scheduled and conducted by the end of 2009. The sessions would focus on a particular issue they are facing, and want to get an action plan in place.
