Advancing Your Career
Thu, Jan 29
In this session we're going to cover three topics that will repeatedly resurface throughout your professional career: Negotiation, Promotion, and Mobility. All three are personal aspects of work, yet they have drastic effects on the broader economy. Today we'll explore this relationship.
We have two main in-class learning goals. By the end of lecture today you will:
- Learn how to be assertive in your career.
- Develop a positive vision of success for you, your community, and the common good.
