Instead of begrudging the new responsibilities and tasks you�ve been assigned, use them to �upgrade� your career � rewrite your job description and think big.

The game has changed! Everyone needs to assess their current worth to their employer. Instead of relying on what you�ve done in the past, you must focus on what you can do to help the organization thrive in the future. Learn how you can take your �invisible promotion� and turn it into something that will make your employer sit up and take notice of your unique skills and valuable contributions.

Prepare yourself and others for future roles within the organization by keeping job descriptions up to date, using the mentoring process, and planning for your professional development.

Succession planning is one of the last things people and organizations think about when, in fact, it should be one of the first. In this session, you will learn how career development discussions, updated job descriptions, effective Learning Management Systems, mentoring and other processes can help prepare someone to take over your duties so that you move into more responsible positions and advance your career.
