Session Description:
Why is it that the phrase, “It’s your responsibility to manage your career”, sounds more like abdication than empowerment? Most professionals don’t take charge of their career development and, as a result, have careers that reflect a series of coincidences and happenstance. In this seminar, IT leaders will review emerging leadership competencies and develop career-advancement strategies that will best position them to meet the evolving demands of the IT profession. You will assess your skills and develop a personal action plan to develop or hone necessary competencies. Join other leaders in focusing your development in a way that adds value to the organization, makes each day more enjoyable, and leads to the fulfillment of longer term goals and values.
