| 10-12-20: Grateful for Harvest. Job Openings |
|
Harvest season is the time where we get to see and experience first hand, the fruits of the farmer's labor. All the colors, smells and feelings warm our hearts.
We are very grateful to be able to experience these - whether it's the hard work and toil of your own efforts or the success of the people you are surrounded by.
Enjoy the bounty. Be grateful for the opportunity. Stay motivated. Plant seeds, give care, remove weeds (distractions), be mindful and reap rewards!
"When the talent is torrential, the harvest is inevitable."
- Curtis Tyrone Jones

Your brand and your network are two of your most valuable assets during a job search. But it takes an integrated online and offline communications approach to fully leverage the power of each. Social media like LinkedIn can provide you with expansive "reach" but the human interactions are what deliver the credibility and the chemistry. When you combine both, your job search progress can accelerate quickly and during this webinar, author and sales coach, DAVID FISHER, will present on his perspectives on "How to integrate online and offline tools to build your brand and your network".
Some of the topics that David will cover include:
- Connecting your online activities to your offline goals
- Building a clear, concise brand message across platforms

-
Learn how to conduct an SME interview
-
How to make it an actual conversation
-
How to get the information you need when you don't know what information you need
-
How to align the conversation in a way that reveals conversions
