Course Description

Value is identified differently in the 21st century than it was just a few decades ago. Visibilitys’ viability. The more visible you are the more viable you are perceived to be in your competence. Because opportunities have a shelf life: they won’t always be there in this fast paced world. You need to be ready when opportunity knocks on your door or when you go and find where opportunity lives.
* Identify strategic value in networking opportunities
* Ask for everything: the meeting, the sale, the promotion
* Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
* Knock people's socks off when you answer "what do you do?"
* Laser Focus on the decision maker
* Be a follow up warrior
* Develop a peer level relationship with anyone
To identify and leverage opportunities you need to do two things. First it is a mindset, and then you have to give the mindset a voice.
