I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “communication is key.” That’s never more true in the workplace than when change is involved. I believe this so much that it’s the topic of a book I’m currently writing (stay tuned, it will be published and ready to read within a few months). So when I came across [...]
I’m excited to be speaking about not one, but TWO Career Coaching topics tomorrow for GO! Network. Session 1 is “From Desperation To Deal,” where you will learn negotiation techniques to get all you deserve during the interview process.

I’m presenting “From Roadkill To Roadmap – 8 steps to put your career in drive without taking costly detours.” This presentation is based on my book, From Roadkill To Roadmap, and is sure to be information-packed and – if I say so [...]
