There’s a lot more going on than an economic slowdown. The fundamental nature of work is changing. When we can help our clients understand what is happening they are better equipped to deal with the new realities of the workplace.

Traditional job-search belongs to the Industrial Age of long-term employment, which has past. It sets people up to expect someone else to provide employment security. The Ground of Your Own Choosing approach to work-search prepares people for a new kind of work security, one that is not dependent on any particular job, but on their own capacity to generate work.
 

At this seminar, participants will:

• Shift client attention away from a dependence on others to self
• Learn business development skills to help manage career as if it were a small business
• Be able to clearly articulate client’s unique value in the marketplace
• Make the most of the competitive edge that comes with authenticity
• Practice new ways of taking care of ourselves professionally

Using ideas and stories from her book, Ground Of Your Own Choosing: Winning Strategies for Finding & Creating Work (http://www.groundofyourownchoosing.com/), Beverly will reframe the process of finding work and give career professionals strategies and tactics to help their clients be “optimistic, proactive and even excited.” (Edwin Nevis, Co-Founder/Board Chair, Gestalt International Study Center). 

As a special bonus, all participants will receive a complimentary copy of Beverly's book "Ground Of Your Own Choosing: Winning Strategies for Finding & Creating Work!"
