| 10-19-20: Coaching Tip for Candidates Seeking Leadership Positions |
Leadership is not really a position nor a title. It is action and example. While everyone finds their own approach to leadership, there are certain qualities that many great leaders share. These are portrayed in all aspects of one's personal and professional life.
Let's do an activity: Review the 5 traits listed below and cite examples of how you have personified these traits:
- Integrity
- Humility
- Express Care
- Consistency
- Influence
See what Howard Shore, author of "The Leader Launch Pad: Five Steps to Fuel Your Business & Lift your Profits" has to say about these traits: Person's character foundation.
Do you have what it takes? When you interview for leadership positions, weave in your stories that match the traits listed above.
"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails"
- John Maxwell

2. Free Webinar - Get Organized so Things Don't Slip Through the Cracks!
It is critical to track all your job search activities because of the contacts you make daily. You cannot possibly remember all the resumes you've submitted, calls you've made and new contacts if you haven't been organized. If you have no current system, this session was written for you.

Your primary focus as a job seeker is to schedule interviews. You should wake up every day and ask yourself one question - "How can I schedule an interview today?" If you are not happy with the results of your job search and the number of interviews you are scheduling, this training was written for you. During this session, you will learn the Nine Strategies to Book More Interviews.
Date: Tuesday, October 27th Time: 1:00 PM (CDT) 4. Wine & Webinar: Your Website Homepage? It Isn't Your Homepage Anymore
As search engine result page (SERP) features become more intelligent and prominent, and voice search continues to grow, the age-old goal of "drive traffic to your site" is slowly being diminished. Rather, it's time to actually deliver on the promise of giving audiences the information they're looking for-where and when they're looking for it.
In this webinar, you will:
- Learn why Google SERPS are your new homepage, and how to tackle them holistically. (Hint: it's not just SEO)
- Learn how schema markup, structured content, PR, and ethical and empathetic marketing combine to help you win today's search game
- Get actionable tips on how to use topical keyphrase research and Google Analytics data to create high-ranking content that targets audiences with both commercial and informational intent
- Find out how to actually track this stuff
Date: Tuesday, October 27th
Time: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (CDT)
