Emotional, Cultural and Artificial Intelligence Skills for Success in 2025: complimentary LIVE webinar Wed, Jan 8/25

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate the day, and happy Hanukkah or happy holidays to everyone else
As we close out 2024, this comes with my thanks to readers, clients and friends around the globe for another year of working with terrific people.
I was in New York City and then Wisconsin for my last road trip of 2024, and arrived home mid-December. Since then, each day has flown by quicker than the last. I hope you’re enjoying down time – or close to enjoying some relaxation time – as you read this, and looking forward to making the most of the new year ahead.
To help you do just that, I’m maintaining my annual tradition of offering a complimentary webinar early in the new year for the first 100 registrants.
ACT NOW to nab one of these 100 complimentary registrations
In this live January 8/25 webinar, we’ll look at different types of intelligence – emotional, cultural and artificial – that can support your success in the year ahead. You can point your smartphone at the QR code just above, or click here to register.
As has been my tradition for the past few years, I wind down each year by offering a complimentary webinar as a way of giving back to our community. I know December can be wild and wooly in terms of demands on your time, so I’m hosting this one-hour webinar in early January, as we collectively shift back into business mode.
Register while spaces are still available, and join me January 8th to kick-start your 2025 with my look at GenAI (it’s good to have insights even if you’re in a workplace where its use is prohibited), and an overview of human intelligence skills to hone for success in 2025. You’re welcome to come prepared to have your cameras and audio on, so we can make portions of this webinar interactive.

NEW AND popular returning WEBINARS NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION HERE ON MY WEBSITE
In recent months, I’ve been investing time and care in updating my website. Not everything transferred cleanly to the new design, so I still have some tweaks to complete, but you can search above for insights and resources on multiple career-related topics, for Real Careers interviews from 27 different countries, and more … you can even enter the term “recipe” in the search field to see your counterparts’ Christmas baking recipes from around the globe.
