Some Seats Open for BRODY BOOST Camp – Because, Professionalism is Even More Critical

Four day countdown to the next BRODY Professional Development BOOST Camp …

Self-development is even more critical than ever before.

If you are still employed, you need to present yourself and your ideas in a clear/concise/courageous manner.

If you aren’t employed, you again need to sell yourself and your ideas in a clear/concise/courageous manner – to get a new job.

Contrary to what the news media would like you to think, companies are still operating – and, in many fields, people are getting hired.

As I’ve said before, if you’re unemployed, getting depressed and giving up isn’t an option.

Or, if you fear that you will be in the next round of layoffs, don’t adopt a “there’s nothing I can do” attitude.

What do you need to do to boost your own presence and professionalism? Join me on April 2nd and you’ll find out!

We have a few more seats still open at our open-enrollment career development workshop -- BRODY BOOST Camp.

The World Isn't Fair

Granted, things are shaky with the economy and businesses everywhere.

So, what are your choices?

Give up or step up?

I am speaking about this very topic on November 6th in Chicago -- delivering a workshop presentation twice at the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association (HBA) Leadership Conference. The title is “Step Up! for Success.”

Here is one of the key points that I’ll be making:

The world isn’t fair – it’s your attitude that counts.

People walk around lately as though they are victims. We aren’t.

We have choices – not always good ones, but choices all the same. No one wants to hear your whining. If you are lucky enough to still have a job, look for ways to make it more interesting. Make the changes that are necessary, or accept what you can’t change. Leaving is always an option.

Another thing you can do is hang around with winners, not whiners.

Negativity is toxic, and it spreads quickly. Every day, think about -- or better yet, write somewhere -- things that you are grateful for.

That attitude of gratitude -- which some of you may see as cheesy -- really does go a long way.

I’ll be sharing more of this message regarding stepping it up, and thriving in your career, despite economic factors, in my open-enrollment BRODY BOOST Camp career development workshop on November 13 in Plymouth Meeting, PA.

Gain a Professional Edge at BRODY Boost Camp, November 13, 2008

I just came back from Pittsburgh, PA, where I was speaking to a client about the importance of personal marketing.

In these times of “troubled waters,” the ability to sell yourself is even more critical.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating now: It’s not just who you know, but who knows you -- and what you’re capable of doing -- that counts!

My upcoming BRODY Boost Camp on Thursday, November 13, will help attendees enhance their professionalism, persuasive speaking, and personal promotion.

There are still some seats available.
