New York, NY â€" March 31, 2009 â€"Sir Richard Branson, Virgin’s Chairman wrote in the Foreword to The Secret of CEOs that "the best thing is not to be limited by traditional corporate careers but to be clear on what you want from life and get as much varied experience as you can pack in!" Leader Connections, which celebrates leaders who share, inspire and give back, announced today that the author, Steve Tappin, former head of European CEO & Board Practice at Heidrick & Struggles, a world renown executive recruiter, will give the keynote address at its half-day "Advance Your Career" executive workshop, which takes place on May 19, 2009 at the University Club in New York City.
With entire industries going through massive transformations, advancing your career means being creative. When your job disappears, there might not be an identical one in another firm. So, don't expect to find it on a job board. Don’t expect your networking buddies to have one in their place of employment.
Leader Connections believes that the key to advancing a career is to identify your unique, personal brand and true career goals, develop and execute a strategy that will connect you with the people who can help you realize them. This includes C-level professionals, Board Members, Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents, who are looking for top talent to grow the company rather than simply fill an open position.
At the half-day, informative, interactive and results-driven workshop, taught by four distinguished experts, participants will learn Leader Connections’ key principles to Advancing Your Career by Building Your Brand and Connecting with Leaders. They include:
• Perfect your personal brand
• Articulate your brand succinctly â€" in resumes, cover letters, "elevator pitches" and meetings
• Identify the ideal positions you’d like and the organizations that can help you advance your career
• Identify the leaders who can create the opening you want
• Master Leader Connection’s 9 strategies of connecting with these leaders
• Commit yourself to staying connected so the right leaders will seek you out in the future
Leader Connections expert faculty that will conduct the workshop include Dr. Jerry Cahn and Savio Chan, company Managing Directors and co-founders, and Steve Povenzano, Director of Executive Career Services. They will help attendees learn key strategies for building their brands; articulating them succinctly and powerfully in winning resumes, cover letters and interviews; developing strategies to connect with the right leaders, and executing the plans effectively to find positions which advance their careers.
