In my experience, the more we explore the tradecraft of our profession, the more we position ourselves for career success.
For me, this means a lifelong study of communication – verbal and written – blended with human ecology and the fundamentals of security. It’s an odd mix, but with my focus on Awareness that Works™, it serves my clients well.
A few months ago, I started a column for CSO Online dubbed the “Career Catalyst.†It allows me to build on my background as a catalyst and role as an advocate for individuals to share ideas, insights and strategies to help shape and develop powerful, effective careers. It turns out to be a perfect compliment to my approach to advancing individuals and organizations at the same time.
My passion in serving others is the driving force for this column.
I routinely listen to the challenges, observe the trends and think about the skills, aptitudes and attitudes for career success. But I also view this as an effort to serve as the catalyst for multiple ideas, experiences and challenges of the entire community.
