Building Connections and Strengthening your Network

14 February 2019 (Thursday)

Moving up the organizational ladder is considered a vote of confidence in one’s ability to assume bigger roles and responsibilities. At every step though, different challenges await, and for many, adapting to the new realities could prove daunting and demanding, particularly when the transition is from a ‘hardened’ technical role with limited exposure to ‘soft’ skills to a role where people management and team leadership rank quite high. In this webinar, we discuss the skills which technical professionals and engineers need to focus on, to succeed in their new roles as team leaders, strategists, business people, negotiators, etc. Please join us on this Meirc webinar to learn what it takes to make such transitions successful and which mistakes to avoid along the way to ensure desired business and personal goals are achieved.
