Career Skills Webinar - A Swift Kick in the Can'ts
Feb. 20, 2019, 5:00pm
Webinar Overview If you want to increase your productivity, enhance your earning power, achieve your goals, and reach more overall success in your life, then read on. Peer Mentoring™ is a system in which two people agree to support each other based on complementary skills and needs, and the partners create a 'contract.' The purpose of this process is to create a 'buddy system' to help both of you achieve your individual goals.There have been numerous books and articles about mentoring, finding someone senior to you in your field who will help, advise, consult, and coach you to realize your potential. Having a mentor can definitely be an asset to you and your career. Lately, we hear a lot about the power of networking in all its formats, such as 'live' networking - going to events, collecting business cards, and then following up on those contacts. Of course, we also have cyber networking thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and the most business-related platform, LinkedIn. The end goal - is finding the contacts who will be helpful to you or your business. Peer Mentoring is a combination or confluence of these two trends (networking and mentoring), regardless of the business or career you're engaged in. Join Elaina to learn how you can better organize your job, life, and responsibilities.
