Seize the Opportunity: Open the Doors to Success
We have those internal voices that hold us back from seizing opportunities to open doors for personal and professional success. What is holding you back from turning the doorknob, opening the door, and walking through? Let's be honest, we scroll through social media and see post after post of others' success; very rarely do we ever see people's failures. Our coworkers and colleagues are sharing successes at meetings and social events. We begrudgingly offer congratulations, but those internal voices are playing recordings such as: 'why don't you have successes to share?' 'Look, success is easy for everyone else, what is wrong with you?'
Let's make a change; it is your turn for success! In this session, we will explore four-letter words that will give you the courage to seize the opportunities to turn the doorknob, walk through the door, and celebrate the success that waits for you on the other side! Success looks different for everyone. You may be looking for professional success such as obtaining a certification, degree, or other designation. Perhaps you desire to step up in your position, move to the next level, or the confidence to approach leadership with a business case for new initiatives. Maybe your success is something personal such as getting out of debt, purchasing a home, going on an extended vacation, or retiring.
Whether your goal is professional or personal, this session will offer you the framework to put together a plan to seize opportunities to confront the door, turn the doorknob, and successfully get to the other side!
