August Monthly Program

    Stake Your Claim - How to Position Yourself for 
                  Breakout Career Performance

Are you feeling stuck in your job? Can you see your career at its
peak? Are you ready to make your move?

Your professional success is not based on luck. It has everything
to do with your ability to clearly define and commit to what you
want and then to orchestrate the progress necessary to get there.
Consistent, focused, and inspired action creates desired results.
The reality is that both you and your organization prosper when
you take charge of your professional growth.

But what is the specific action that prepares you for breakout
performance and separates you from the pack? During this
program, April Goyer will reveal five difference makers that - when
mastered - define you as a powerful, effective, and rising leader.

You will learn how to:

• Create the mindset for succeeding at the highest levels
• Develop a speaking style that commands attention and
  produces results
• Demonstrate a leadership presence that brings out the best
  in people
• Build a compelling case for your business initiatives
  and deliver a strong ROI
• Think and perform with the power and precision of an
  athlete

We look forward to having you participate in this exciting process.

ASTD Competency Model:
The Model emphasizes: (1) foundational
competencies, or those that are important to
everyone in the field, and (2) the specific areas
of expertise (AOEs), which are the specialized
knowledge and actions required by specific
roles. This month’s chapter event focuses on
“Performance Improvement.” The program
supports the “Personal” foundational
competencies entitled “Interpersonal Skills.”  (Click on image of
