down upon by employers. Fortunately, employers are becoming more flexible to
retain committed employees. But you must
do your part as well. In this webinar you will learn to:
•
Advocate for
your professional advancement and hone your professional skills
•
Make the
right connections within the organization
•
Read the
political tea leaves
•
Negotiate
for what is important to you professionally and personally
