"Take Your Personal Brand to the Next Level!"
 (Our Members Only Meeting)
 Monday, January 4, 2010
  
Join Lorraine "Lola" White MCC & Chief Coaching Officer of Executive Connections, a global executive search, executive coaching and consulting firm http://www.executiveconnectionsllc.com  for a highly interactive evening of client examples, tools and insights which will help you as a coach "Take Your Personal Brand to the Next Level!"
 
Lola notes, "In my work as a successful longtime executive coach-consultant, I have noticed a sharp increase in the need for career transition services along with a personal brand revamp in order to prepare for the next big move. However, much of the basic work required to prepare for and move through a transition is not being done. For career transition to be successful, it's important to take stock of where you are, to envision where you want to be, and then to take integrated action."
 
Lorraine will take us through processes similar to those she utilizes with high level career transition clients helping them take their Personal Brand to the next level!
 
Participating in this evening, you will:
  • Learn the TOP 10 key elements to help catapult your Personal Brand in 2010 and beyond and
  • Complete a personal brand assessment
  • Define a personal brand vision
  • Raise your personal brand awareness to the next level, where it'll be noticed!
  • Walk away with an action plan that's aligned with your personal brand vision
This is the first time Lola is opening this work to a wider audience of coaches. Join us for a professional development program designed to jump-start 2010!

You Never Know What Life Holds:
Survival, Surprises and Service
 
At Home in the WorldAbout our presenter: Dorothy Conlon, author of "At Home in the World: Memoirs of a Traveling Woman," has been a citizen of the world for all of her 82 years. She was born in Japan to missionary parents and was raised there and in the United States. After completing college, she joined the U.S. Foreign Service where she met and married her husband, Ned, and continued her life abroad. Following his death in 1989, Conlon expanded her travels to remote and exotic lands to explore, teach and conduct wildlife research. She has visited more than 65 countries, including a recent trip to India where she volunteered with a service organization that aids the poorest of the poor in Chennai.
