Presentation: “Disruption Proof your Career – Insights from 52 Weeks of “COVID” (“Culmination Of Very Impactful Disruptions”) Webinars”

It is safe to say that none of us could have predicted a Pandemic, let alone its impact on the job market. As it turns out, the pandemic was the first in a line of disruptions we experienced that included “Digital Transformation”, “Digital Disruption”, “The Great Resignation” and now Inflation – each of which presents its own unique challenges to Society, Businesses and of course the individual.

If you didn’t know better, you could argue that COVID stands for the “Culmination Of Very Impactful Disruptions”.

But these disruptions have had a real and significant impact in the workplace, all of which will influence “The Future of Work”. Just consider these disruptions
• How “traditional” corporate thinking was obliterated and previous “corporate blockers” annihilated
• Increased the speed at which disruptive change is implemented
• Established new job requirements that require CURRENT skills that aren’t quickly obtained
• Exposed the fragility of the Supply Chain EcoSystem
• Established new forms of consumer “Muscle Memory”
• Established new processes due to Government Regulation / Mandates
For those still in the workforce, the breadth, depth and speed of these changes is likely confusing AND unsettling. And if you follow the news, it is possible that other disruptions (like the rumors of another pandemic) are possible, so what can you do to prepare yourself for the next disruption, whatever it may be?

All of this serves as the basis for George’s BRAND-NEW Presentation for 2022. Leveraging the extensive “Pandemic Research” and insights shared during his last 85 Weekly LIVE Facebook Webinars. He will build off his 2020 “Future of Work” Framework – by aligning the most significant disruptions to the framework, the permanent disruptions they are causing – and sharing his insights as to how to best prepare to “Keep Pace” with the changes that are not only here – but most certainly coming.

Presentation: “Can you Influence the Interviewer? Here are 6 ways you can.”
Many psychological factors underlie whether an interviewer chooses one candidate over another. Although there are some aspects of the interview process that you can’t change, like your height or whether an interviewer has certain preferences, by uncovering the six underlying mechanisms of influence, you can subtly tip the scales in your favor.
Interviewing is a competition, and this presentation will help give you the edge so you can be slightly better than the previous or next candidate. And sometimes that’s all it takes. This presentation builds on psychological concepts formulated into practical, expert tips that you can use right away, like how to structure your speaking style to appear more credible. You’ll learn how influencers use such factors as reciprocity, how herd behavior can work in your favor, and how using the concepts of familiarity, authority, and scarcity can help land your next offer.

Presentation: TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE AFTER A JOB LOSS

You’re in your mid-life years and you’re feeling pretty good about the direction your career has gone. After all, you get good performance reviews, a modest annual merit increase, and maybe even a good year-end bonus or solid commission. Then you get an unexpected call to your supervisor’s office. Sitting and waiting for you is the HR director. Suddenly, after years of loyal service, you find yourself unceremoniously let go by your company.

What do you do now? It’s not easy, but you can survive and thrive!

Ken has experienced this very painful and personal life event first-hand. He will present his personal experience and how he went from despair and fear to finding a position and developing a lifestyle even better than the one he had before.

The reality is that separations from companies happen, but you can navigate through this stressful time and get you where you truly want to be.

This presentation will cover:
– The harsh reality of a mid-life job loss
– Restarting your career
– Finding your way to a better life, both professionally and personally

About the speaker:
Ken Sher is a Career Coach and Executive Coach with 30-years’ experience leading and coaching individuals and managerial teams at companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Bristol-Myers Squibb.
In addition to winning multiple achievement awards in various sales & marketing roles, he led 4 different Sales Training & Leadership Development teams including a global organization. Ken’s teams designed, developed, and delivered leadership training to multiple levels within J & J.
Why listen to Ken about Career Transition? Well, he led the Johnson & Johnson Sales Recruiting Department to record placements. And, he was laid off from Johnson & Johnson after almost 25-years.

Based on three recent books the presenter helped edit — one of which is a New York Times bestseller — as well as a highly regarded Coursera offering, Andy O’Hearn shares new ways of listening to your instincts, blazing your own trail, and staying in the game while you steadfastly pursue the many career opportunities hiding amidst crisis conditions. You will leave this presentation with the courage to lead, the perspective to reflect and assess your choices, and the passion to “stay the course” by focusing on your mission and values. You will also get a better sense of how to “read” personalities in a virtual environment, and express yours in return, so that others “conspire” to help you succeed.
