Networking at Work
How do you utilize your connections in the workplace? How can workplace relationships help you reach your career goals? When is it appropriate to utilize work relationships and when is it not?

Interviewing the Interviewer: Finding the Job you Want
Job interviews are not just a way to convince a potential employer that you’re the best fit for the position; they are your opportunity to decide whether the company, culture, and people are a good fit for you. In this session we’ll explore several ways to prepare for interviews that expand and go beyond conventional interview techniques.

Cultivating Positive Politics in Organizations
What comes to mind when you consider organizational politics? Do you think of backstabbing, gossip, and self-interest, or do you think of alliance building, interdependence, and trust? At its core, political power is the ability to influence behavior through understanding the forces that motivate people to act. The possibility of this power being misused is obvious even without the cautionary tales of corporate fraud and corruption that have plagued the news over past decades. So how do we cultivate moral political power? In this session we'll discuss ways to recognize the three types of political power, and how to cultivate ethical, values-based influence at work.
