Get The Promotion You've Always Wanted - And Recession-Proof Your Job And Your Career!

In this economy, every day is a struggle to survive. People are losing their jobs in record numbers. Finding a new job is as difficult as ever. And the people who are fortunate enough to have a job are being asked to do even more, often with fewer resources.

Imagine actually moving ahead in your career and getting that promotion (or making that career change) - in one of the toughest economic climates on record. It's possible!


Do You Have The One Skill Set That Most People Are Missing?

“More and more companies are looking for employees with strong communication, analytical, and interpersonal skills. These are the skills that will be needed in 2010 and beyond...” (Education Week)

Anyone can learn their company's products and markets. But most people lack the very skills they need to move ahead in today's competitive economy - people skills and problem-solving skills. Those are the skills that managers need, and companies desperately look for.

“The world of the early twenty-first century will be one in which learning must go on, out of necessity, throughout working life. In a global economy, increasing levels of competition create more and more change. The person who attempts to coast, only applying what he or she has learned in the past, will have an increasingly difficult time being competitive in a tough global labor market. Economic forces will make 'grow or die' the maxim.” (John P. Kotter, “Lifetime Learning,” The Futurist).

The average “sound bite” is 15-20 seconds and getting shorter. If your presentation doesn’t get and keep their attention, they’ll “click and change channels.” They may be physically present but mentally elsewhere.
