IABC Career Management Seminar 11/13

By Dan Wool on November 3rd, 2008 In Professional Development

Interesting seminar coming up next week from IABC Phoenix…

From the organizers:

As professional communicators, it is all too easy to allow our own career plans and skills development to take a back seat to the everyday demands of our work for employers or clients. When we do focus on our careers, the challenge can be determining which skills to build and which training tools and activities offer the best ROI.

Join this IABC seminar to get guidance from experts with the qualifications and perspectives to help you as a professional communicator, whether in-house, agency or an independent freelancer, navigate your career and skills development toward your professional goals. In this seminar, you will gain a better understanding of “the big picture”—global trends and shifts that shape the skills that employers and clients want and need—and have an opportunity to assess your own experience mix and skills set against your goals. You will come away with information to help you set and achieve your career resolutions for the New Year!

The seminar will be led by Paul Sanchez, ABC, APR, a Mercer Worldwide Partner and employee research team leader in Workforce Strategies, part of Mercer’s Human Capital business, based in New York City. He will discuss challenges for professional communicators, no matter what sector, and assist you in developing a world view and big picture that will help you to assess your skills and map a plan to get closer to your professional objectives.

Vanessa Westfall, vice president and partner of Small Giants, will facilitate a break-out session on staying marketable and on top of your game no matter where you are in your career. Get advice on how to effectively network yourself and plan and strategize for successful prospecting of new clients or employers. Small Giants is all about helping you to be great through thoughtful strategy, solid business development, cutting-edge marketing practices and excellent training.
