Power Communication

The focus will be on the development of a Values Statement (otherwise known as an Elevator Pitch). This workshop will help you examine success, values and aspirations to develop your values statement. It is critical during a job search that you can clearly and compellingly convey how you impact an organization or group of people through what you offer. It helps others help you. Getting the word out about who you are and how you contribute is at the heart of the job search process. The values statement helps you with branding and positioning on your resume and LinkedIn profiles.
