Facebook Round Up: networking wingman, confident public speaking, making a change at any age
Facebook Round-Up: Career inspiration, networking wingman, confident public speaking in any situation, and making a change at any age
This week I found some inspiring articles about shifting into a new career that inspires you. First, it’s finding out what that is, then making the decision and, of course, the many steps. What new skills do you need? I find honing in on your presentation, and public speaking skills is a necessity. Be confident when talking about yourself, your message, your mission, and your goals in any situation. If you haven’t honed that skill yet, think about asking a friend to be your networking buddy or wingman where "I talk about you, and you talk about me." Or think about taking a public speaking class. Here’s a round-up of what you may have missed on Kori Burkholder: Career Transition Coach Facebook page, plus a special discount to an upcoming VitaminR public speaking and PR course.
This week:
