We CAN reach the Winner’s Circle – the 2007 post-Louisville plan

Just back from the Louisville Career Masters Institute Conference  – time to post the plan to reach the Winner’s Circle in 2007 & beyond: 

My immersion into professional development activities leaves me even more invested in providing you with the most current ideas and strategies in career development.  My head is spinning with the success stories of the most successful career coaches, résumé writers, recruiters, and business developers in the country.  So what’s in it for you, current, future, and past Career Acceleration clients?

•    "The Brand Called YOU", the article by Tom Peters that I have sent to most of you, is the center of a relatively new movement in career development.  Those of you who are already working with me have been developing your Value Proposition or Brand as it relates to target organizations; we’ll do this more purposefully and broadly from now on.

•    We’ll be more daring as we differentiate you from others in your field.  I’ve been emboldened in my thinking about your résumés, prospecting letters, and cover letters.

•    We’ll work together more selectively in building and nurturing your network.

•    We’ll work together more effectively in bringing together all the actors in the career development sphere – other career coaches, recruiters, HR professionals.  Your success is THEIR success too.

•    We’ll practice using Web 2.0 technology to achieve our goals, and move toward Web 3.0 so we are never relegated to technological irrelevance and incompetence.

Thank you for choosing to work with me; thank you for helping me to learn and grow alongside you as we reach for our shared success in the world of work.  Inspired by the UBS tag-line, let’s commit to You + Me = Success 4 Us.
