Networking Skills
Managing the 1st Impression
Whether you are meeting a new boss, changing jobs or
looking for your next promotion, managing the
impression you make and how you come across to
others often determines your success or failure.
Seemingly small things often make a big difference
in interactions with others. We all have our own
unique style of communicating with others. Learn
some of the subtle yet important ways we all
communicate and how you can use this knowledge to
your advantage in making the best impression you
possibly can.
Handling Grief in the Workplace
Your employees are your most important asset for
running your business and keeping it profitable.
It is difficult under the best of circumstances to keep
everyone working at full potential but under stressful
conditions, it is even more of a challenge. While
a survey of 456 companies revealed that 84% had EAP
programs, only 10% of employees use them. EAP's handle
only part of the grief/crisis picture. A manager needs
to do more than just send the grieving individual to an
EAP program. He or she needs to know
what to do in times of crisis & grief and
how to talk to grieving individual and their
co-workers. Focus should be on awareness and action.
What you do during this difficult time directly impacts
your company's bottom line. The actions you take can
have long lasting affects on how your employee feels
about you and the company long
after the crisis has passed.
The Age Old Issue of Age
Can we talk?? The issue of age in a job search is well, as old as time. How can you address the perception that older workers are not as capable or as qualified as younger counterparts? You know that your age, breadth of experience and wisdom are valuable assets that any employer can use. What are the options for those potential employees considered “old” by hiring managers and companies? Come learn the top 5 things you can do to present yourself as a valuable asset that has lots of “life” left in your career.

Ace the
Interview
In
todays business climate with lots of competition
for the job, it is important to be able to stand out

are not fully prepared to represent themselves in
the interview. For some its nerves, for others
its lack of preparation.
Join us

forward in the interview. We will talk about the
different types of interviews, what employers are
looking for and perhaps spend some time practicing
