this new concept of microtrends and how they will impact life-career
planning. Our speaker will outline several specific trends that
will influence our clients and address counseling strategies to
use with clients. We'll engage in a dialogue about practical suggestions
that will be most relevant to various populations.

January
5, 2007 - Networking is a Lifetime Skill
Presenter
- Sheila Krejci, Sheila Krejci Training Associates - Join
Sheila Krejci, business owner, consultant and lifelong learner
for some facts, myths and inspirations around networking and its
value to you, your business and your life.
"Networking
is an attitude, an approach to interpersonal behavior rather than
an activity, a 'thing to do' or an 'event to attend.' That’s
why I believe Networking is a skill…and a critical personal
and professional skill honed over a lifetime." - Sheila Krejci
Consider the
trapeze artist who always insures that her safety net is in place—strong,
secure and supportive, the net allows the artist to practice new
routines, take chances, and build her confidence. The safety net
is the network that Sheila will inspire you to build from scratch
or breathe new life into if yours has been neglected. Nothing
will replace the success of networking as the number one tool
to land an interview, secure a new job, obtain new clients and
customers and build your business. Technology can be useful in
the building process but it is still done contact by contact,
relationship by relationship without an immediate return on investment.

December
1: SHiFT... Encouraging Midlife Transitions toward Greater
Meaning & Balance
Facilitated
by David Buck
A recent Harris poll indicates only 20% of today's workers are
"passionate" about their work. The boomer generation is approaching
retirement age buy surveys indicate they do not look forward to
a life of "retirement". People are living 20 years longer than
two generations ago. The globalization of the economy and
technology trends cuts short initial professional careers.
Boomers, prone to a life of fulfillment, are increasingly
shifting their sense of fulfillment from money to meaning.
We all sense
this and much of this have given rise to more available
services in the career development and life coaching sectors.
But are there still constraints in place?
David
Buck, founder of SHiFT, a new non-profit organization
based here in the Twin Cities, is interested in creating a new
community of seekers to more easily consider midlife change, and
link them to the services they need. He looks forward to sharing
and getting feedback from you.
