Speaker: Mary-Frances Fox , President, Work Creatively

Workshop / Presentation Description:

Build and Tap Your Career Equity ©

As our January PD topic, we looked into career management.  Think you’ve heard it all before?

• How are Self-Employment and Career strategies alike?

• What assumptions hold back your effectiveness?

• What mistakes are escaping your notice?

• What habits do you repeatedly fall into?

Learn from a 15-year veteran of strategic career management, what you can do to bring events in your self-employed or employed career, and your income, 85% under your control, with more ease -- not more effort.  

Fox shares powerful content – practical ideas and approaches honed by daily work in the career move space and her entrepreneurship experience.  If you discover you’re doing all the right things – you’ll sleep better having it confirmed professionally.   If you aren’t doing it, you’ll be more clear on your best arenas for action.

She developed the Work Creatively Career Equity© model and processes based on continuous experience, research and investment in the career management field since 1991. The model flows in part from her successful experiences in steering her own career freedom, over a lifetime as an intuitive type, from writer/editor to corporate communications manager to speech writing consultant to psychotherapist to senior outplacement consultant and manager (where she advised thousands of downsized employees and their employers), to her firm’s practice leader today.
