June 12: MBTI for Leaders
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is not just a tool used to help us understand ourselves and others; it has slipped into common parlance about personalities and preferences. People mention their “type” in conversation often, but what do you really know about your preferred type, and what it says about you and your leadership style. Do you know how to tap into that to be a stronger leader? Prior to this program, you will be provided a link to take the MBTI, and from that we will gather not only your individual profile, which you will be provided with, but a group profile for the session to help our group discussion. Prepare to leave with a better understanding of yourself as a leader! Attendees will also receive a 10-page MBTI analysis of their individual type in the workplace.
Time: 12 - 1pm EST; Cost: $55; Registration now available!
June 15: Interviewing Skills Workshop
Going into an interview can be a deeply stressful experience, but it doesn't need to be! We will spend time in this workshop going through how to best prepare for an interview, either in person or virtually, the types of questions you may face and how to tackle them, and how to manage your interview stress to be able to put your best self forward!
Time: 12 - 1pm EST; Cost: $40; Registration now available!
June 16: Mid-Career Changes
As a career coach, one of the biggest questions I face from clients is: "How do I make a change mid-career?" We will discuss the different kind of career changes you may find yourself facing mid-career, including jumping to a brand new career track, how to maximize your current career to help you step up and out, and how to activate your personal network. Be prepared to leave with a personal career-development to-do list.
