September Means Back to School Time – But, It’s Not Just for Kids

It’s back to school time.

Doesn’t the Labor Day holiday always remind you of that?

Of course, if you have children, you’re probably breathing a sigh of relief.

But, what does this time of year mean for all of us in business?

1) Four months to make our 2009 goals.

2) Planning and budgeting for 2010.

For most businesses, 2009 has been a tough year.

Many professionals have dealt with change, the unknown, and more responsibilities as their colleagues have been laid off.

What can get lost in times of workplace chaos and change?

The ongoing importance of professional and personal development.

This really is the best time to go “back to school.” Your own development cannot take a back seat.

After all, you don’t want to be left behind at the end of the year – or “expelled!”

I have no idea what the new economy will look like.

But, I do know, however, that winners don’t wait.

What do you need to do for yourself and your staff these next four months?

Fortunately, we at BRODY are still booking 2009 programs for our enlightened clients -- the ones that realize they must still provide skills training for their employees, so they will continue to excel.

If you want to do something for yourself (or your team), consider registering for our BRODY BOOST Camps being offered in San Francisco on September 24, and again in Philadelphia on October 8th.

School is never truly over!

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.
