Transitions
Career transitions, and life stage changes affecting careers
I had the privilege of presenting to our local "Indy North" Business and Professional Exchange group a while back. We talked about the concept of personal branding and using self-assessment to bring clarity to one's "brand", toward more effective networking and marketing oneself to target employers. I reviewed a few well-known assessment instruments and how they can help bring personal attributes and characteristics to light.
One analogy I made that stuck with one of the folks in the room...
Spare time!
