DESCRIPTION
Amplify your Career by Managing your VolumeSession with Asli Bilgin, Practice Area Manager at Slalom Consulting “It is impossible to make everyone happy all of the time, you can just make all the time that you are with them happy.” (Asli Bilgin, April 2012) Many of us, at one point or the other, face challenges and frustration with driving our career to the next level, let alone to a place that maps to our life goals. In this session, Asli will share her lessons learned and best practices, and will spend a good portion of this session answering questions from the audience. This session is not meant to be a motivational or inspirational session (although that is a nice value add). Instead, this session will give you concrete examples on how you can:• Strategize your approach to your career• Build a powerful ‘favor bank’• Mobilize your network• Review winning strategies for managing down, up and around effectively• Have a fun time living your work
