A well-built and maintained professional network could be one of the most powerful tools for career advancement."

Hello !
You know that technology is moving fast, companies are hiring and you're struggling to get noticed.
You may even be ready to take a lesser role just to make a change or, you can always wait until management notices your leadership skills.
How can you move from a stagnant career?
You have to take actions that may be out of your comfort zone.
I've worked with a lot of technology leaders---we're talking about very talented, "change the world type of professionals" who...
Manage global teams.
Are practiced at presenting complex programs to their C-suite, other stakeholders and key clients.
Are responsible for huge budgets
Yet, when it comes to a career search or advancement, they are challenged by taking networking actions and unintentionally thwart their Career Trajectory
by...
Not making an effort to talk with peers or keep in touch with colleagues and miss opportunities from their referrals
Not sharing their value to prevent being perceived as a bragger
Feeling uncomfortable asking for anything
Yet, your professional network is one of the
most powerful tools at your disposal as a leader.
Does networking scare the %^&* out of you?
Don't know what to say or you don't want to talk about yourself?
By relying solely on a resume and job boards, applying online just like everyone else and competing in a race with 250 other, less qualified candidates, you are missing out.
Let's talk about how to DISRUPT YOUR CAREER SEARCH to CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOURSELF!
"While networking is often enthusiastically embraced by individuals just entering the workforce or seeking to make a career change, it can be neglected by mid-career and senior professionals who believe their network is adequate and no longer needs to expand."
HOW LEADERS USE THEIR NETWORKS
"By building relationships with decision-makers in the organization, it's possible to establish open lines of communication and stay abreast of strategic changes that may impact your role."
