Preparing for Today's Career - Online

Catch Trout, Don't Fish in a Catfish Pond - To achieve maximum results from your networking efforts, you need to target your market and set goals. This can be a daunting task without proper guidance and, therefore, many people never do it. This course will help you complete your personal relationship-building plan and help guarantee that the networking process works for you. Keep this plan handy so you can continue to refine it as you move throughout your career, either at the same company or as you change jobs or become self-employed. Prerequisite: It is helpful to have taken "Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation" in the five-part "Building Relationships for Business and Career Success" series.

Create Effective, Powerful Verbal & Printed Business Cards and How to Use Them Effectively (Before an Event) - Your initial words in any face-to-face networking interchange are so important that you need to craft them so they inspire, inform and intrigue others enough that they want to know more about you. This course leads you through the process of creating your Verbal Business Card, the front end of your elevator pitch, which also serves as the basis of your top-of-the-mind positioning statement, a must for every business person. Your Printed Business Card plays a crucial role in your relationship-building activities because it is often the first impression of your business. The class also gives you vital delivery tips that lead you into meaningful conversations so you will be memorable later. Prerequisite(s): It is helpful to have taken "Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation" and "To Catch Trout, Don’t Fish in a Catfish Pond" in the five-part "Building Relationships for Business and Career Success" series.

Follow Up is Golden (After an Event) - You did your before-the-event preparation. You worked the event with ease, and now you have a handful of business cards. What do you do next? You follow up, of course! You’ll learn how... from the importance of collecting and recording information on business cards for populating your database to follow-up methods using email, handwritten notes, e-zines or newsletters to the time-proven telephone calls, business meals and referrals. Prerequisite(s): Completion of "Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation" is mandatory. It is strongly recommended to have completed "To Catch Trout, Don’t Fish in a Catfish Pond," "Create Effective, Powerful Verbal and Printed Business Cards and Know How to Use Them Effectively," and "Work an Event With Ease" in the five-part "Building Relationships for Business and Career Success" series.

What You Say Before You Speak - The success of any personal encounter in the business world begins the second someone lays eyes on you, often long before either of you says a word. A professional image - appearance and behavior - helps start the experience right since people decide 10 things about you within 10 seconds of seeing you. Learn the art of impression management, equally applicable to men and women, so you know how to determine what impression you want to make and then how to look and act to get that reaction.

Work an Event With Ease (After an Event) - You can do your homework, yet nothing can simulate actually working an event. This is when reality hits, and you have the face-to-face opportunity to build or strengthen relationships that will help increase your sales or get you the job or promotion you want... or to miss the chance because you don’t know networking etiquette or didn’t engage in meaningful conversations that made you memorable. There’s so much more to working an event than just showing up. This course details what to do from start to finish, giving you the framework to adapt to your style so you can succeed much more easily. Prerequisite(s): It is helpful to have taken "Laying the Relationship-Building Foundation," "To Catch Trout, Don’t Fish in a Catfish Pond," and "Create Effective, Powerful Verbal and Printed Business Cards and Know How to Use Them Effectively" in the five-part "Building Relationships for Business and Career Success" series.

Laying the Foundation for Relationship Building - Building social capital is key to amassing financial capital. Advanced degrees and experience won’t help you get ahead when you lack “knob turners” to get you the appointment or interview. You invest money and earn interest to get more money; this process is about investing time to gain more contacts to build a new kind of wealth: relationships. You’ll get an in-depth look at what constitutes networking, the noun that has been turned into a verb and is a mainstay in business worldwide. Then you’ll start the networking process at the beginning by learning more about your natural networking strengths and limitations and improve your interpersonal knowledge as you also learn what makes others act and react the way they do. This first course in the series lays the foundation for building relationships that last.


Project Management Exam Prep Course - If you have project management experience, this is the class for you. We will help you hone your management expertise to a razor sharp edge during our comprehensive review of the nine major project management subject areas*. This course prepares you to take the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam, and this course satisfies the 35-contact hour requirement you need to qualify to take the PMP exam.

*Quality, Scope, Time, Cost, Human Resources, Communications, Risk Procurement, and Integration Management.
