Career Thought Leaders Conference & Symposium

www.careerthoughtleaders.com/conference

Less than a week … and counting … to a great gathering of thought leaders from the careers community. I’m excited! Will I see you in Baltimore? I hope so!

Allow me to present one last great reason to join us, one unparalleled opportunity to absorb (and contribute to) the newest, most advantageous ideas for keeping your clients on the cutting edge.

Anyone who has attended a careers-industry conference knows that listening to all of the talented speakers and wonderful presentations each day is great! It’s exhausting work, packing our brain cells with all that valuable new information. Watch what transpires next week, however, just when you’d suspect that all of us might be burned out at the end of each day. An amazing thing will happen as we drag ourselves from the last presentation each afternoon: Colleague-to-Colleague discussions!

Just when you think you’ll burst with all the new ideas you’ve collected during presentations, these C-C brainstorming sessions will provide a relief valve. I think they’ll be a great way to engage, in small groups, to discuss specific topics related to our businesses: résumés, coaching, job search, interviewing, technology, entrepreneurship, pricing, packaging and much more.

In these groups, we will all have the chance to speak up – to ask questions or share ideas, postulate new trends and best practices, or demonstrate new techniques. I think the greatest challenge with these C-C programs will be deciding which to attend each day! Fortunately, they have been structured so we can move seamlessly from one to another and join in a host of conversations. (I only wish I could multi-locate!) I know you’ll enjoy these every bit as much as I will!

See you there!

What I’m Most Excited About at the Career Thought Leaders Conference & Symposium

www.careerthoughtleaders.com/conference

Although I’m thrilled to be attending the CTL Conference and am excited to hear all of the presentations, the one that I’m most excited about is the very last presentation.

Susan Whitcomb, Deb Dib and Elisabeth Sanders-Park will be on the stage together for the last hour of the conference, sharing their insights about the future – of the careers industry, of traditional and non-traditional employment paradigms, of social media and its ever-expanding impact on the process of networking and job search, of changes in best practices in career coaching and resume writing, and so much more.

I know that I’ll leave that presentation with new ideas and perspectives, a clearer focus on how to help my clients succeed in both job search and lifelong career management, and renewed energy and enthusiasm that will serve me well throughout the rest of 2011. I can’t wait!
