In this session, we will discuss the various scenarios in which a zombie boss or colleague reveals their true colors so you can be aware of the warning signs. We will then plot your escape – in a professional manner of course, that distances you from the perpetrator and toxic work environment while maintaining and even improving your own reputation.

sku Product SKU:  WEBINAR-W20_04-2020

Crises can happen anytime to anyone, and can affect many (if not all) aspects of your career advancement plans. As we are experiencing now, crises can derail our goals and projects, cost us precious resources to do our jobs, or even lead to job loss. As with everything in your life, you ideally want to build and execute a strong, customized crisis management plan for your career.

You will emerge with tools, tactics, and the ability to construct, test, fine-tune, and implement your own career crisis management plan.
