Workshops that expand the impact
of your professional development programs
Give your team or members new ways to reimagine their career as they gain clarity on their offer, learn to tell a compelling story, and plan a roadmap forward.
Our career development programs can be tailored to your needs or you can select from our menu of ready options. Whatever your goal, I can deliver programs virtually or on-site, and can add coaching components to compliment any topic. All our workshops are designed to encourage participation, and include in-session and post-session activities to continue the learning.
Career Discovery: Gain Clarity & Confidence to Make Your Next Move
Understanding and defining what you’re offering employers is an indispensable first step to making a career pivot or making the case for moving to the next level. You’ll uncover your success factors to identify your top strengths, and learn how they transfer to a best-fit job or career direction. Participants will write and analyze their accomplishments to create compelling stories in job and networking interviews.
This foundational workshop is also offered as a Career Masterclass for in-house Career Management programs.
What’s Your Pitch? Create & Communicate Your Professional Brand
One of the most powerful tools you can use to conduct a more successful career campaign -- or make the case for that next level role in your company -- is optimizing your brand. Understanding what it is, based on your unique mix of strengths, successes and experience, is the first step to clearly communicate how you benefit your target audience, whether employers or clients. Participants will use a simple step-by-step process and easy-to-use templates to strengthen written and verbal presentations.
This workshop is also offered as a follow-up to the Career Discovery Masterclass for in-house Career Management programs.
Branding Yourself on LinkedIn: Gain Traction with Your Target Audience
Understanding and conveying your professional brand is one of the key strategies for getting noticed on LinkedIn – the #1 professional networking site used by 87% of recruiters. Learn to use your pitch and branding keywords to attract and engage hiring managers, recruiters, or clients. Participants will learn to create compelling headlines and About Page profiles using guides and learning from winning LinkedIn profiles.
Power Networking: Maximize Your Job Search & Career Success
Networking is a critical skill to develop -- in truth, it’s essential for work and life. Yet, it is one of the most feared of all professional skills (even for extroverts). Learn tips on how to gain confidence in presenting yourself to others, expand your contacts, and master networking basics. Participants will practice writing a Positioning Statement to clearly convey their defining strengths and what they’re looking to do next.
Tapping the Hidden Job Market: Master the Art of the Informational Interview
Conducting a referral networking campaign is the key strategy for tapping the unpublished job market – where over 90% of jobs are found. Get tips on creating a structured approach from finding people to talk to, knowing the questions to ask, and getting referrals to people who work at companies or jobs you’re targeting. Participants will be given scripts for every step of the process to increase confidence and get better results faster.
