Speaking Engagements 2006
 

Thursday January 26th, 2006

Build and Tap Your Career Equity ©

Group: New Path www.newpathnetwork.org

Time: 6:00pm to 8:30pm

Location: Metro Hall, 3rd Floor, 55 John Street, Toronto, ON

 

Workshop / Presentation Description:

As our January PD topic, we look into career management.  Think you’ve heard it all before?

  • How are Self-Employment and Career strategies alike?

  • What assumptions hold back your effectiveness?

  • What mistakes are escaping your notice?

  • What habits do you repeatedly fall into?

Learn from a 15-year veteran of strategic career management, what you can do to bring events in your self-employed or employed career, and your income, 85% under your control, with more ease -- not more effort.  


 

Fox shares powerful content – practical ideas and approaches honed by daily work in the career move space and her entrepreneurship experience.  If you discover you’re doing all the right things – you’ll sleep better having it confirmed professionally.   If you aren’t doing it, you’ll be more clear on your best arenas for action.


 

Speaker Profile:

Mary-Frances Fox founded Work Creatively Career Advisors Inc., to stop the career and income problems of individuals. The firm is one of Canada’s only full service professional career management advisory firms dedicated to partnering with individuals, not employers. An entrepreneur, over a third of her clients are self-employed.


 

She developed the Work Creatively Career Equity© model and processes based on continuous experience, research and investment in the career management field since 1991. The model flows in part from her successful experiences in steering her own career freedom, over a lifetime as an intuitive type, from writer/editor to corporate communications manager to speech writing consultant to psychotherapist to senior outplacement consultant and manager (where she advised thousands of downsized employees and their employers), to her firm’s practice leader today.


 

Her background includes a BA and post-university programs in marketing management and psychotherapy training. She is a 10-year member of the Association of Career Professionals International, and publisher of The Career Equity © Letter. Fox is a graduate of Trent University and a member of Women Entrepreneurs of Canada and the Toronto Board of Trade.  Outside of work, you’ll find her writing, renovating, or out on the water.

Career Equity Basics / Career Management 501
Presented by: Mary-Frances Fox, President, Work Creatively

Most people have career aspirations, but only about a third of Canadians make concrete career plans. You need to steer your career to manage the gap between where you are now and anywhere you wish to be.
The new job security is in knowing how to obtain great work, work that hinges on and rewards your best strengths. Improving your career management will help show your worth to a contact, cultivate valuable ties inside and outside your company and industry, control interviews and succeed in salary negotiations.
Join Mary-Frances Fox for an enlightening and practical guided tour of the attitudes and actions necessary to build and operate a stable and meaningful career today. Understand the new communication dynamics between companies and talent. Distinguish yourself from other candidates and build a demand for your best work.
